<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mac266, post: 2447028, member: 26371&quot;]Ladies and gents,</p><p><br /></p><p>I was going through my quarter collection this morning because I had nothing to do.&nbsp; I glanced at my Red Book and noticed there were a few doubled die errors listed, so I thought I might check.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe my 1942-D might fit the bill.&nbsp; The problem is, the coin is maybe fine condition at best, perhaps even VG-10, and and a bit dirty.</p><p><br /></p><p>According to the Red Book, the doubling appears in the word &quot;LIBERTY.&quot;&nbsp; I believe I can see it in &quot;LIBE,&quot; but not in &quot;RTY.&quot;&nbsp; It&#039;s most visible inside the openings of &quot;B,&quot; and at the end of the &quot;L.&quot;&nbsp; Can you please advise?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i68.tinypic.com/16875t1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i66.tinypic.com/24xgmww.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i66.tinypic.com/5ehagx.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i65.tinypic.com/w7e7iv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>ADDED:</p><p><br /></p><p>I went online and found a great photo for diagnostics:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i65.tinypic.com/2wdx7jb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The parts I&#039;m picking up on in, &quot;In God We Trust&quot; are twofold for this pic:&nbsp; First, the middle of the &quot;W&quot; is higher than the sides, which my coin shows.&nbsp; Secondly, there is a line in &quot;U&quot; towards the top of one side indicating where one &quot;U&quot; ended and a new one begins.&nbsp; See here:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i65.tinypic.com/mra0pz.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I believe there are two more indicators in this pic.&nbsp; First, the bottom of the &quot;T&quot; appears to have a line where one &quot;T&quot; ended and another began.&nbsp; Secondly, the hole in the &quot;R&quot; is too small for a normal &quot;R,&quot; which matches the diagnostic photo.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i63.tinypic.com/125miw2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As to grade, when I look at my &quot;Photograde&quot; book, I&#039;d put this coin as a G6.&nbsp; However, when I look at &quot;Grading Coins by Photographs&quot; by Q. David Bowers, it appears to be a&nbsp; VG8 or VG10.&nbsp; Which one is closer to NGS&#039;s grading standards?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
