I know my pictures suck, but I really think this one is a winner. IGWT has doubling all throughout. The last "T" is very fat on the bottom which to me indicates doubling. Was just updating my albums, when Iran across this beauty. What do you guys think? I can take different pics if these aren't clear enough. It is hard to put a nice shiny Proof under a light and take a picture without blinding yourself. If confirmed how much could this be worth? I tried to find info on it, but did not have luck.
Last one I sold got $25 or $30. Last one I sold got $25 or $30. It is a FS # variety but there is not a lot of demand for it. Remember the rule of denomination values in die varieties. Cents, nickles and dimes with doublED dies and RPM's are most sought after then Morgans and type coins from the late 1800's and sadly last Washintons, Kennedy's, Ike's and moderns. At least that has been my experience. They also occur less on the larger denominations but go figure???
Great! At least I am not crazy. Thanks. My coin I think should be sent in to PCGS or some place like that. It is flawless. Do you think if I sent in to be slabbed, that it would help the value?
I would not. I would not. Mine was graded by ANACS 67 and still only brought $25 or so. If it got a 69 Cameo maybe some body somewhere would want it but I really don't know who and I know them all - it's a minor and it's not going to be on many peoples (if any) list. It's in the Cherry Pickers Guide but I think only cause it's fairly modern and a proof - if it was pre 1964 it would not even be listed. Again please note there are now thousands of Quarter Die varieties but there is still not thousands of us that are really that serious about most of them.
I still have to get the second volume of the guide. I initially bought the first one thinking I was getting it all only to find out I was wrong. I need to get that one. Thanks.:thumb:
FS-25-1982S-101, page 217 of Forth Edi. Vol. II FS-25-1982S-101, page 217 of Forth Edi. Vol. II also it could just be DDO-001
What you have is a class 6 doubled die disdended hub doubling extra thickness on the letters with no seperation marks. The class six doubled dies don't fetch a big premium ,but along with the doubled die and a cameo proof it may just bring a nice premium if you put it on ebay a slabbed cameo doubled die class 6 JC
Actually it looks normal to me. Class 6 Doubled dies are in a league of their own, they represent the only class of doubled dies that lacks clear seperation in the doubling. They are generally caused by using hubs to impress designs into improperly annealed dies. The design flattens out and become thicker than normal, stretched or distended toward the outside of the design, generally close to the rim.
Yeah, this type of doubling...especially on Proof coins is very hard to destinguish due to already thickness and Frosting of the Letters & Date and the depth of the hubbings! Other than the larger than normal thickness, about all that can be extinguished on the coins, is the relative flatness of the corners where notching (Split Serifs) would normally be seen. (See the image below for an example.) In the case of jessash's coin, look to the Northwest corners of the Lettering and Date digits that have a corner. Some flatness (indicating the notching) might also be found (ever so slight) on the Southeast corners of some of the Lettering and Date digits. Many Proof coins with this type of doubling are easily missed! Frank
I don't think they would bodybag it but they would just list it as a normal coin and most likely not indicate the DDO.
