I got the electron microscope out again to look for varieties. :goofer: Any chance this 1964 quarter is a DDR-003 (FS-25-1964-803)? Here are pics of the 2 PUPs from the CPG. :smile Thanks, TC
Going off of this: Medium spread on STATES with light spread on UNITED, OF AMERICA, QUARTER DOLLAR, and very light on E PLURIBUS UNUM. I think in my mind if the word "States" has a medium spread then I wouldnt think you would need a microscope to see it and would say that is more of MD then DDR. Not sure if this applies to the FS-25-1964-803 [TABLE="width: 682"] Stage A: Reverse is EDS [/TABLE] Numerous die scratches on Obverse – EDS [TABLE="width: 682"] Stage B: Reverse is MDS Die crack across base of bust into field at front of bust and into field behind ribbon – MDS [/TABLE] [TABLE="width: 682"] Stage C: Reverse is LMDS [/TABLE] See here too lol : http://www.varietyvista.com/Variety%20Master%20Listings/washington%20doubled%20dies%201963-1964.htm Is this you here too? http://www.coincollectors.tv/is-this-1964-quarter-a-ddr-003/
This is really a strange one. It looks like it has both MD and true doubling. Take the S in states. The top and middle of the S look like MD almost as if the die turned counterclockwise. However if that's true then the MD at the bottom curve would be on the outside of the S to the right and bottom not in the curve top and left. Plus the ends look complete and seperate at the end points on the tail of the S. Same with the R in America. The top and left looks pushed and shelf-like common of MD but why is the doubling on the left side of the right leg of the R not on the outside toward the I? Is a hybrid of half MD and half Dbl.Die even possible? Only other explaination was the coin was struck and the die twisted counterclockwise and then again clockwise and again is this even possible???
Thanks for the replies/info. This is a tough one but am leaning toward MD. SQG: I did not post directly to that other site. It looks like my thread on CT was picked up by that site. TC
