So, as I finish up my second day of being a member on CT I come across a damaged 1965 Quarter while coin roll hunting. I was just going to discard the coin in a separate pile, but decided to loop it instead. Reverse is a double die, but what the heck is the damage all about? As I looped the coin I noticed metal in places where there is not normally and the coin retains the thickness and somewhat of the shape....don't know, just never came across a coin with this type of damage. Anyone ever seen something like this?....and sorry for the pics, taken on my phone with poor lighting.
Yes I have.. looks like some of a few Quarters I have dug while Metal Detecting. Most likely damaged from getting hit by a lawn mower. That is a damaged coin.
Don't see it The correct term is Doubled not Double Quote - "Note that the proper terminology for this occurrence includes the letter 'd' at the end of the first word, hence "doubled die". The term "double die" without the first word ending in 'd' is not proper numismatic terminology." closed quote I want to share this webpage with you - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubled_die
Thanks for the advice, just a heads up, my cell phone is not smart on numismatic terminology and will automatically default to proper English and the best word for the sentence. The back of the quarter is doubled in places, well what's left of it, you need a loop to see it and I will see if I can get my new camera to zoom in enough to see it.
I actually teamed up with a couple of guys that metal detect here in Germany and working with them on their finds, mostly ancient and 1800's coins.
