Folks, Final question for the evening. I have stacks of 1964-D quarters in 2x2 flips. A couple of the 2x2 flips are marked D/D. I remember this die variety being a semi-big deal when I was a kid, but I don't see much mention of it these days. So the question is: Is there a particular die variety that is worth me spending my time looking for in the 100's of 1964-D quarters I have, or is interest in this variety more, "Meh, a '64-D is a '64-D?" If there is something I SHOULD be looking for, please post an image of what I am looking to find. Thanks in advance. Zoid
Depends on the variety If it’s truly a RPM, condition is key also. Post some pictures of the ones you have. We all would like to see them.
Wexler has 8 different 1964 D RPMs listed. Compare some of yours those listed on his site. If it's not too much trouble, as @Danomite said, we'd like to see some of yours. Thank you.
I did note a pretty wide variety of sizes and positions. My photo taking skills (and equipment) isn't the best, but I will try to schedule some "glamour shots" and post them back in this thread, as time permits. Thanks for the help. Z
I have 2 nice specimens. They not only have RPM-006, but they have assorted die cracks and die chips. I think I will post them in two installments since they are both very fine specimens and I don't want to confuse one with the other. First:
Installment 2: In the first photo you can see a die crack that runs across the neck, then SW to NE up the neck and from the point of the neck through the 1 to the rim. It starts at the rim of the other end of the torso. So it is rim to rim.
Noting the second specimen there are other anomalies. If you look at the top of GW's head you can see a die crack running completely across it. There are die chips and minor lamination on the Eagles head. Other cracks and die scratches are around. Like @Collecting Nut said 'they are cracking me up'.
So I know this is an older thread but I was looking for info on 64 D quarters after finding a few rolls of them in my dad's collection. Isn't there a Type C (aka '65 reverse) that's worth a few hundred bucks in NM/VF condition? Edit: Please excuse the comic grading term (near mint/very fine), I collect those too, lol
For clarification Type A is the normal 1964 reverse. Type B is the reverse found on proof sets. Type C is the new dies for the 1965 cupro nickel quarters. From my understanding the older worn '64 dies didn't survive the run and it was finished with the '65 instead of making a new one for the soon to be discontinued softer silver quarters.
Washington Quarters is the only type of coin I was ever able to get interested in when it came to varieties. There were several reverse die varieties right around the time when they switched from clad to silver. The so called "Type C" reverse is RDV-003 was the first reverse die design for the new clad quarter but was pressed into service on a limited number of 1964-D quarters. There are also confirmed examples on 1965 and 1967 circulation strikes but the RDV-003 reverse was not used a lot.
