<p>[QUOTE="GatorGann, post: 2233425, member: 74590"]OK, it's time to put gas on the fire. How about the 2015 Homestead quarter. There are several double die varieties that center around the water pump. The most extreme example is the Wexler DDR 004. I have several and they all have the same die indicators so they should have all come from the same die. It's definitely die doubling and not machine doubling. To me they look intentional as it is one specific element that is doubled. Other elements around it show no doubling what so ever. Looks like a mint employee got bored. Or did the mint purposely add the double elements to encourage people to hoard them or buy additional mint sets. Since a quarter only cost the mint a few cents to produce they can make a nice return on those that are pulled from circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>This same coin has multiple different die chips and cuds, but only from the Philadelphia mint. Denver doesn't seem to have this problem.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
