<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Seattlite86, post: 2316242, member: 59737&quot;]My goodness... so much magnification?&nbsp; Can we have some photos of the whole coin so we can see what it looks like before put under an electron microscope?&nbsp; I think you&#039;re overmagnifying and finding things that aren&#039;t really there.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure why you can&#039;t get a photo of the full coin, you can do that with any camera by pointing and clicking. [USER=6763]@Treashunt[/USER] these are all quarters</p><p><br /></p><p>These all look like MD to me and let me explain why.&nbsp; Do you see the second link you provided &quot;1963-D RPM WRPM-001 <a href="http://doubleddie.com/1237766.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://doubleddie.com/1237766.html" rel="nofollow">http://doubleddie.com/1237766.html</a> XF-40&quot; Look at the diagnostics for it.&nbsp; Yours is at best a maybe.&nbsp; Take a photo to match the other two photos in the example provided and see if you have the same die markers.&nbsp; Yours look like the same D got punched in like a stutter step, as if it got punched more than once when being struck (machine doubling).&nbsp; The website shows one where three different Ds were struck on top of themselves.</p><p><br /></p><p>The last one can&#039;t be the 004 because the D is rotated the wrong direction and it&#039;s flat, typical of machine doubling.&nbsp; Why don&#039;t you take some time to look at the diagnostics for the 004, like the die scratch and see if you can find it on the coin?&nbsp; The good thing about die markers is that they will tell you other markers on the coin, besides the mint mark itself, that signify it&#039;s an error.&nbsp; Like the accented hair Kennedy Half Dollar.&nbsp; I have no idea the difference between the two Kennedy Halves, but I can look at the diagnostics of the coin to tell which is and is not.&nbsp; I don&#039;t even look at the hair, I look at the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]467303[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]467304[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I applaud your zeal in trying to find errors, but as a young collector, you are going about this backwards.&nbsp; You need to be using a 5-10x loupe that gives you the ability to look at the whole coin.&nbsp; You&#039;re dialing in to a very small part of the coin and missing the bigger picture.&nbsp; Spend some time reading about die markers and you&#039;ll be able to answer these questions on your own.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
