Some imagination, and or magification required.

Hello all. Meow has been CRH quarters this week and found some what Meow has read possible doubled dies. They are VERY faint, and it is not PMD. Meow sees doubling in the inverted V between Washington's ear and hair. Meow thinks it is the pattern of the hair doubling. One has three lines, (First photo) and the other only has 2 lines (photo 2, 3, and 4) and is a lot harder to see. What do you guys think?

Also a very obvious DD on a Mount Rushmore quarter.

I think that there are 3 types of doubling..
First - Doubled Die which is a true Doubled variety
Second - Worthless Doubling such as MD - Machine Doubling and DDD - Die Deterioration Doubling..

Then third - WTHAYTA which stands for What The Heck Are You Talking About? doubling.

 

I'm thinking #3 on this one. But... WTHDIK!!!
(what the heck do I know)

 

ditto, especially #3

 

#3 - ISTAL - I see that a lot!

Meow is looking too hard

 

Wait a minute - I'm to old for all these multi-letter acronyms. When they pop up I have to inquire as to what they mean. I just found out what FIFY means.

 

I'm at the age where I'm just not seeing it.

 

So you guys don't see the extra tic or tics of a lines in the space between his ear and hair? You guys do know what Meow is referring to right? If not Meow can draw and arrow to it.

 

You take good photos Meow! Even if its nothing, its always great seeing well taken pics!

 

I can see it Meow..looks like a little PMD "hit" or chip behind the ear?

 

I don't see the doubling in the hair,But it's still a keeper with the nose doubling. Looks like 001 or 003 to me! Nice find. I have 2 of the 4,Trying to finish the collection!

 

Sorry,I have no idea why the picture posted twice!

 

Because you tapped the button twice!

 

thats alot of noses...

 

Corrected!

 

That's the problem with high magnification. You start seeing things that mean nothing. It looks like PMD from a hit, IMO.

 

Meow may actually have something, what she show does look a lot like what some of these tilted die single squeeze doubled dies produce. But to me they are so minor and so many of them seem to be produced that I can't get excited over them

 

Meow will look for Wexler matches.

 

Ha Ha! Meow has found a match! Meow did not mention what state or mint the coins in question where found. It just so happens that the one with the three tics is a P mint North Carolina quarter. (The first pic) So see, cat's can find good things too!

Description: Extra hairlines show just to the right of Washington’s ear. The secondary image is from a hubbing that was rotated sharply and started forming the hairlines SE of the ear prior to the hub or die snapping back into proper alignment.

Die Markers: Obverse: A small die gouge can be found above the Q in QUARTER. A small die gouge (dot) can be found to the left of the lower 1st L in DOLLAR. Reverse: Two small die gouges can be found to the right of the upper M in UNUM.
