1962 Quarter DDO?

So I've had this BU 1962 Quarter for about 6 months and just remembered why I bought this particular one. It looks like an FS-101 DDO and has the die crack along the base of the bust which is a marker from what I have gathered. There is definitely a split seriff doubling effect but I'm not sure if it is THE DDO I'm thinking. Any thoughts?

For what you have showing for images, take a look at Wexler DDO-004 . Also check the " Makers " to make sure they match http://www.doubleddie.com/1873904.html

 

It doesn't have any die cracks on the reverse. I suggested the FS-101 because of the die crack along the bust. it also has the due dots under the 6 and two lines going NE toward the bust off of the right of the 9. I know those are difficult to see from the pictures but they are there. Could be wrong on the designation but I don't think from any of the markers mentioned that it an 004

 

maybe B&W helps to show the die crack and doubling of the initials?

 

Check out the " O " in God .
make sure yours matches it ....

 

The O is flat next to the G. It doesn't appear as sharp of an angle where it flattens out but I only have the picture to go on until I get home later. Either way we're in agreement it is a DDO, even if not the FS-001?

 

The O actually looks to be the same for all of the DDO Listings for this year..

 

You have to look at the spacing between the " G " & " O " of God . Yours looks more like 4, the spacing is really close on 1 ...

But it's hard to tell with these images ...............

 

It doesn't have any of the die chips associated with 004 and the only two with the due crack on the bust are 001 and 002 from these listings. Then the 2 polish lines off the 9 and die chips under the 6 seem to be telling the tale. As long as it's not Machine Doubling, which is not the case, Im fairly confident it's at least one of the first 2 listings. Thanks for the help

 

Your coin, from the evidence provided, in no way looks to be either (WDDO) #1 or #2, and it's probably safe to say the possibility of being #4 is at best remote. Don't try to cram a square peg into a round hole.

Markers are wonderful, but they're a tool and need to be used as such. Start first by trying to match whatever doubling you think you see; if it doesn't match what you're comparing it to, you're SOL, and the same goes for markers. That said, and again, from the evidence you've thus far presented, there's absolutely no reason to think the coin in question is a doubled die. If you're firm on believing it to be so, please post higher quality photos and let them speak for themselves.

 

Can you not see? there are numerous visible splits showing obvious doubling. I have other 1962 BU Quarters and this is not typical. What exactly do you call this then?

 

Hard to tell from the pictures!? I really can't even take a better, more obvious picture than these. Wow..

 

Take a hint, hotshot.

 

Ya and what's that?

 

I asked if it's a specific DDO and can't get my answer because the pictures just "aren't good enough". Not if it was a DDO of any sort. Why do you guys always get like this when it comes to errors? It was an honest question and a simple answer would suffice.

 

"Get like" what? Do you mean daring to focus on verifiable fact as opposed to guesses or fluffy conjecture? Hmm... I wonder why.

Re-read your above-quoted post, slowly if need be; there's your "simple answer" unless all you really want is "simply" to be told what you want to hear.

You asked if its a "specific DDO" and I told you that it "in no way looks" to be said variety based solely upon the evidence you've provided. Let's think about this for a minute.... has it crossed your mind, even momentarily, that the reason the only two people who bothered to (try to) help you have now suggested better photos is, well, because that is what's genuinely needed? Perhaps there is a very good reason you're not getting the clear-cut answers you demand, and it's not because you're being wronged or treated unfairly. I know this is crazy-speak, but maybe, just maybe, blaming others, especially when there's a simple and obvious fix, isn't the smartest way to go about achieving your goal. Good luck to you.

 

Ya the title was about a specific DDO, you're right. Rick however, at first, stated that it looked to be a different DDO. Then I simply asked if we were in agreement of it being A ddo, not THE ddo. Because the due markers are not clear enough I suppose, I tried to point out that if he were agreeing that it was any DDO, the only 2 listed with a die crack across the base of the bust was 001 and 002. Then basing the other markers like the die dots under 6 and the 2 polish lines, by description of markers, it led me to only #1. Then, it's not clear enough and it no longer looks to be any DDO of any sort. Kind of a flip flop opinion and I 100% respect Rick's. I was only trying to point out my observation of the markers at that point, since the pictures are horrendous. Then you come on to tell me it's absolutely no chance of DDO of any variety besides MAYBE #4. I can still respect that a d we could have had a conversation as to why, or you could have simply said, "without better pictures, it's hard to say". But instead you go on to imply I'm an idiot and there was just zero chance of it being anything out of the ordinary. I can respect you knowing more than me about the specific coin in question, but to me, it was flat out ignorant to give me such an opinion on multiple pictures that are at least clear enough to see the separation and know it's not machine doubling or anything else. Your approach was just all wrong and very disrespectful to me so tell me why I should kneel before you for your own opinion? Because of how you stated your opinion so rudely based on terrible, useless pictures?

 

Top is a verified FS-101, Bottom is the coin in question. Notice the inside (Bottom Right) of the 9 and the spot between the bottom of the 6 and the Rim. Hmmmm..

 

And the top of the 2...and the die crack on the bust...Pretty sure my coin beat your book wise guy. Thanks for the motivation.

 

Why, ain't that dandy! Well, other than that coin didn't "beat" squat, there genius.... surely someone as learned as yourself realizes cracks in that location are fairly common, and certainly took the time to compare the two closely enough to determine if they're actually exact match before flapping your lips, right?
