Hot Springs Doubled Dies!

The first strikes have doubling in the incuse letters. It is in Arkansas, UNUM, Hot Springs, and...2010. Some of the most apparent doubling is in the Arkansas. An example I found tonight has a visible to-the-eye, extra last "S" in arkansaS. Break open your earlier than the 29th boxes now, folks. You will be happy you did. As an aside, the satin look in the field is not a satin finish, per-se, just a field effect for the coin's esthetics. They meant it that way. If the mint set has this finish, it will likely not look much different than the regular circulation issues.
Finally, The silver proof issues also have early release doubled incuse letters, in the same letters on the reverse. Funny, though, the quarter's obverse on early releases looks like frosted, low detail proof issues, minus the mirroring

First welcome to the forum.
Second where did you find this information or are you basing this off your finds?
Third, I would think its more of a MD then a DD.
Fourth, if your finding are true, then someone at the mint must have fallen asleep at their job

PS. Don't take this the wrong way!

 

:hammer:Photos Do help!

 

Not machine doubling!!!!

As a collector for 40 years, I am certain it is not machine doubling. The S is cartwheeled WITHIN the strike outline of the S, and cantered. Then again, in coin collecting forums, never be too sure. I will post a pic, folks. A clear, Macro pic. And you're gonna need to get some pre-29th boxes after that, I think, MAYBE....

 

...but first, the pics! :kewl:

 

Looking forward to the pics!

 

Ok. Where are the pics? :eating: TC

 

OK OK OK holy moly I try again to post a pic.

Welcome LEG END.
I can see something going on with the S but it's not clear.
Is the image more clear (sharp) before you reduce it to post here?
If so I would be happy to host the image for you.
If I can help please PM me.

 

I'm so blind! I can't see anything from those photos. Zooming in just makes them blurry.

It does look like a double die on the end S. Interesting find.

 

That is what it looks like to me as well. My 2-roll set from the mint is dated the 26th. TC

 

Were these on P or D mint quarters?

 

...kinda looks like machine doubling imo. i'm seeing some flatness.

 

I hate to tell you this, but the dates on the outside of the white boxes have nothing to do with the production run of the coins inside. The boxes are supplied by the independent shipping contractor, not by the Mint.
