2017 Indiana State parks quarter with doubling...

This looks to not be MD to me but there are plenty of MD that I wouldn't think was MD so, gonna see what y'all think.

It appears to MD to me from my understanding when the date and other parts of the coin is showing doubling normally it's MD or strike doubling. IMO
Wait for others to chime in

I really can't tell from those images.

I vote for strike doubling, but that doesn't mean it is worth only 25c. If you take a look at Ken Potter's Book, "Strike it Rich with Pocket Change", current ed. These coins can sell for quite a bit more to the person who enjoys anomalies in strike patterns if they are unique enough. It kind of reminds me of the 2007-P Wyoming quarter with the saddle horn doubling, and CONECA considers it a Type VIIII DDR.

2007-P 25c WY DDR-012, 12-R-VIII

Here is a picture and a close up of the error:




Good job spotting that, have you found any others?

 

I'll bite my tongue out of respect.

 

"Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?" -WS

 

"Draw, if you be men!"

 

Just to clarify I don't have an affinity for any doubling not created by an engravers hand. I might try to sell a machine doubled coin on ebay to help out those that do like them....but very cheaply and to spread the joy of the hobby.

 

ahhh.... where have all the Tybalt minded people gone?

 

I meant Benvolio (sp)

 

Man... you're really starting to tax my memory here.

 

That coin is so loud with so much going on the it's extremely difficult to get good pictures of it. I was also half asleep and it took me like 2 hours to post it because I kept falling asleep. Was using my Laptop in bed LOL. I'll try and get some better photos in natural lighting today.

 

It's one of the Matte finish state quarters from the mint collection. Scratch that... for some reason someone placed an uncirculated'ish non matte one in this holder. It looks to be the mirror finish.

 

Here's some different pictures. It was hard to figure out the best route of taking them without all the glare and it was opposite of what I thought I should do. I cranked the light all the way up on the scope and it was the best way to take them.

Last ones.

There ya have it. From all angles.

 

Nice pictures Rachel what did you use to take them?? I can see the doubling pretty clearly.

 

Not an expert. But keep trying

 

Ill never be an expert hahahahaha!

Anyways Tony I'm using the Celeston 5mp DM.

 

I'm glad you found one your happy with. Good for you.

 

Well you, very impressively (I might add), DID come back rather quickly with the best line from the beginning of that particular act/scene.

I on the other hand had to look up the act do a cursory recall/memory read on google for about 3 seconds, then remember the last time I saw R+J performed in Millenium Park outdoors by a free but professional, company's (strictly adhering to the original "unrevised "for the times" dialogue), in which BENVOLIO's peacemaking through weapons statement actually hit home with the other, much more liberal side of my brain which had last read the act way back in H.S. had erroneously concluded peace by sword was ridiculous. Even if there were two rival families in Verona so entrenched in a hatred for one another I thought, how will more violence ever solve this feud.

But "this" BENVOLIO, played by someone who knew how to express it in the Bard's intended* way made me realize over 20 years after I read it in High School, how necessary the sword can be, in maintaining order in the presence of a silly nonverbal "insult' ready to ignite a powder keg of violence that could have easily engulfed all of Verona.

I guess it was just one of those moments of awakening for me. I also had just gotten into collecting SLQ's and the symbolism on its face became apparent, as well the the allegorical figure of justice with her sword, scale and blindfold. Such a simple but delayed lesson for a then 20 something young man patiently waiting for his train to arrive while enjoying shakespeare in the park. I still remember it as it were yesterday...they say that moments that have lasting impact on ones memory are often strongly tied to emotion... and mine was one of being enthralled at by how wrong I was in my rather cloudy understanding of the great works in the environment of High School tomfoolery and misspent youth.

But when I said where is he, when you need him....
I meant mainly in forums such as this one in which anonymity allows many to think nothing of tossing around insults merely to get a reaction and the attention that has given rise to the newly coined meaning of the word "troll". His figurate sword in the form of "forum rules" is a symbol that I think should have to be electronically signed like an honor code pledge, signed and rewritten in ones own hand before entrance into a place such as a public forum.

* Who can say how the Bard actually intended this rather insignificant characters remarks, other than a setup for the more central story of the work's two main characters. But what I happened to take from it; a lesson that being wrong can be a great illuminating experience.
