My Redbook does not show any listing for DDO that year. Are these sellers lying or what?</p><p>The coins are indeed doubled as far as I can tell, but it appears to be machine doubling, not double dies.Am I wrong?</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;category=39462&amp;item=3954155019&amp;rd=1&amp;ssPageName=WDVW" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;category=39462&amp;item=3954155019&amp;rd=1&amp;ssPageName=WDVW" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;category=39462&amp;item=3954155019&amp;rd=1&amp;ssPageName=WDVW</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;category=39462&amp;item=3953288143&amp;rd=1&amp;ssPageName=WDVW" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;category=39462&amp;item=3953288143&amp;rd=1&amp;ssPageName=WDVW" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;category=39462&amp;item=3953288143&amp;rd=1&amp;ssPageName=WDVW</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Your opinions please! Quote from one seller below</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>&quot;A very nice looking 1943-S Washington Quarter that a very scarce double die obverse variety. Bold doubling can be seen on the motto, date and liberty. This is by far the nicest one of these d/d&#039;s that I have owned. I would grade this coin a nice XF/AU with a light cleaning that is not distracting..&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
