Looks like a DDR, Smells like a DDR, but is it a DDR?

Coin 1 appears normal. Coin 2, not so much.

leaf cluster southwest of the “B” in “BAY” is the area of interest.

certainly appears to be a few extra leafs stamped in. Did I find something worth getting excited over?

coin 1:


Coin 2:

I don't think an inclused (I think that's the right word) strike can be Doubled-die.. maybe I'm wrong?

 

DOH ... You said the leaves... Idk about that

 

Incused..
There are examples of Doubled Die for those Quarters.

 

Alright... did not know that... thanks!

 

It's a common die break known as a die chip.
Die breaks are small missing pieces on the Die. The metal from the planchet flows into the break raising it. It's caused by a worn die.

 

So I’m wrong again lol.

this help?

 

As Ed said, it is a die chip. Fun to collect but not a doubled die.

 

Nice to find but it looks like a die chip to me. At least that was my first thought when I looked st the photo.

 

hows 3 on the same coin?

 

@PennyRich Very cool!

 

What about re-punched initials on the 2020. Anyone see that yet?

different coin, but same design. Check out the “a” behind the “m”

 

Initials have been punched “at least” 3 times.

 

Seems that way but that's the effect of Die Deterioration.

 

@PennyRich Is as ED ^^^ says.

 

Excellent!

 

On incused doubled dies, I believe the incuse devices are reduced and outlines become irregular.

 

Got ya. Need to educate myself some more.

 

It's a good one to research. I remember some years ago that this was in a discussion where machine doubling (bump) and actual incuse doubling were on the table. It was regarding the incused letters on the shield of the Lincoln Shield Cents. A search here might yield something to that effect. If I have some time later, I'll dive into it. I don't recall where the discussion ended...and actually think it was at another forum altogether.

 

I may have to dive into that search myself. Curious what may come of it.
