Looks more like a product of die wear IMO.

"Rim-restricted Design Duplication?"

That is different.

 

I think wear

 

I agree

 

on the rim? I can see under the rim I never heard of wear on the rim.
if You have a link that shows me wear on the rim I would love to check it out.

 

Definition: Rim-restricted design duplication: This rare form of doubling has to date only been detected on Presidential dollars (Washington to Madison), several 1994 cents, and a 2004 cent. It always occurs on the face struck by the hammer die. After reaching the lowest point of its downstroke, the hammer die bounces up, shifts to one side, and lands lightly on the design rim, leaving a set of raised design elements. It is also sometimes referred to as “one-sided, rim-restricted design duplication”.

that means the die would have had to bounce in order for this to be on the rim. so
it cant be wear. also if it were wear it wouldnt be a space between the letters on the rim and
the normal letters. after reading this link I really think I found the answer to my question.


Thanks for the input.

 

no, and not PMD

 

It looks like a peculiar form of die wear to me. But I can see why you'd mistake it for RRDD. However, if it was RRDD, the letters would be most complete at one point along the rim and get progressively less complete as you travel along the rim in both directions. Here it appears that the "extra letters" show a pretty uniform level of completeness. Also, the letters are not as clear as you'd expect in a case of RRDD. Still it might be worth writing up for Coin World to show the difference. Contact me if you want to go that route.

 

Cool find Tommy. I'd love to have a coin that made a Coin World article!

 

I would love that what do I have to send You?

 

I sent you my e-mail address via "conversations". I supppose that's what they use for privagte messaging here?

By the way, I've seen this effect on other quarters, but not as well-developed.

 

Mike could this possibly be from a abraided die ?

 

It's not a manifestation of die abrasion. Intentional die abrasion is never directed at the die's rim gutter.

 

Thanks Mike , I have found a few coins like the one in this thread but never kept any of them.

 

can you take a look at this quarter and tell me whats going on with it?
