I got this nice looking bi centennial in change, I am a newbie so would appreciate help please, on the reverse, through all lettering by rim is squiggly, would this be pmd? Is this doubling on the obverse and if yes, where can I find information on it as I only find on the Denver mint and if there is any value
The doubling you are seeing on the obverse is from a worn die, die deterioration doubling (DDD). The line around the outer rim of the reverse is PMD caused by a coin rolling machine. Here are a couple of good sites. http://doubleddie.com/ http://varietyvista.com/index.htm
DEFDAM - Definitely Damaged. Crimper damage. That Quarter was at the end of the paper roll Reverse side facing out when it was damaged.
That’s a fantastic picture. Everyone needs to see that before they think about buying old BWR from the bay!
Which is why I laugh at the number of bidders on rolls of those W quarters. The seller takes them out and rewraps them since the banks have become wise to this madness of customers buying boxes only to return them. Suckers!!
