    Finished my two boxes of quarters yesterday. Took pics of everything I wanted to send in to Wexler for verification. Here are the pics of the new DDRs I did not see listed on Wexler's site and one North Carolina quarter that I am not sure might be a doubled ear. HOMESTEAD A.jpg

    This one is a little hard to see but is just a little bit along the top of window 3.
    HOMESTEAD B.jpg

    This one appears to have been doubled from the recessed part of the cabin wall that appears to flow into the window frame. The part on the window below is definitely a PMD scratch but the recessed flow into the window frame is what caught my eye on this one.
    HOMESTEAD C.jpg

    This one has what appears to be two spots. A light doubling of the pump kind of high in the two windows above it L3 and R3 and a small doubling in window R2.
    HOMESTEAD D.jpg

    This one appears to have some doubling in windows L3 and R3.

    HOMESTEAD E.jpg

    This is the NC quarter with what appears to be doubling on the ear. Not quite sure and will see if any of you have any opinions on it. Of the many NC quarters I found in the two boxes this was the only one like this. The black arrow is kind of hard to see.

    I also found a WDDR-037, WDDR-005 and WDDR-056 Homestead quarters and 3 WDDR-006 Mt. Rushmore quarters along with 15 different die chips on Homestead quarters.

    Your first pic is similar to Wexler's WDDR-044. But it also looks like there's doubling in the handle of the water pump on far right side. That area in between the two lines of the handle should be smooth. See Wexler's WDDR-038 for an example of this type of doubling. In the case of your coin, that might just be a die chip or "light doubling" (from your light source in the pic). In Wexler's, it's a very smooth line...

    Looking at it again, it looks like there might be a slight doubling of the handle but it's very hard to tell. I will probably send it in anyway and let him decide if it's any different. One the ones I can tell for sure what they match up to in his pictures I have kept aside. Sometimes it's hard to get a real good picture of what I am seeing with the loop and rotating the coin under the Dino-Lite obviously affects the lighting too.

    An off-topic tip on the Dino-Lite: Rotate the coin 90 or 180 degrees, take the shot and then flip it over in your photo editing program. That works well sometimes to clear up lighting issues and ambiguities.

    Mine does not have the die chip markers that yours does. Mine seems to be die chip free. I do have others with die chips like those in yours. So maybe we will both get them listed.
