Could I be that lucky?......

I'm pretty sure this is a true doubled die but I do not collect Washington Quarter varieties.

Just wanted some more expert numismatic reassurance as I have certainly been wrong a few times before!

But if this is what I'm pretty sure it is.....what a monster FIND.

Thanks, a lot.

Hello. Morning to you. Can you provide the year of Coin with whole pics of coin with Camera phone . Thanks .

 

Flat and shelf-like.

 

I realize that but Why is it triple ?

 

Why not? It just happened to stutter a bit more.

 

Sounds good to me. Peace .

 

Mechanical doubling. There are no split serifs.

Edit to add:

What did the TPGs say when you sent your matte proof Lincolns for authentication?

I keep hearing Weird Al Yankovic's song "Close But No Cigar".

True doubled dies have a rotation. In addition to the flat, shelf-like appearance, when the doubling is shifted (vs. rotated), that's another indication it's MD/DDD.

 

MD and a cool one. I heard they were out there and now I see a triple.

 

One type of doubling does list rotation (Class I) but there are 8-9 classes of hub doubling, depending on which reference site is used.
Class 9 seems to be reserved for the more modern single squeeze method.

"True doubled dies have a rotation."

Not so. Class II doubled dies show misalignment from rim to center or vice-versa around the periphery; Class III doubled dies are overdates or the superimposition of one design element over another; Class IV doubled dies show a radial spread; Class VI doubled dies show thick and/or distorted lettering or other design elements; and Class VIII doubled dies show a tilted hub in combination with one of the other Classes of doubling. I don't believe Class VII doubled dies have been verified. Only Class I and Class V misalignments can be said to be rotational. See the CONECA website or the website by John Wexler for additional information.

 

very nice example of MD. keep it for future reference on other coins.

 

Can't tell. All the places where I look for split serifs are either out of the picture, out of focus, or in an area of glare. The best candidate i see is at the base of the upright of the R in the last picture

 

This is why I tuned in....

 

Just for you Sal
