<p>[QUOTE=&quot;susanlynn9, post: 33404, member: 1258&quot;]There is a 1943S doubled die obverse listed in Breen (#4319). The doubling shows plain on motto, date, and &quot;LIBERTY&quot;. There is an article in March 1986 issue of <i>The Numismatist </i> about this variety. According to my Breen (dated 1988) this DDO is very rare. </p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the grading goes, you and I are in the same boat. I have always followed ANA Grading Standards. I have a good friend who follows Photograde. The standards for both of these are comparable. Between us, we have not disagreed on a grade yet that I can remember. </p><p><br /></p><p>The XF coin in the auction, I see as VF20. I see the ANACS graded AU as EF40. Although I have a tremendous amount of respect for ANACS, I do not agree with the grade assigned and would see this as a prime example of &quot;buying the coin, not the slab&quot;. I would not pay AU money for that coin. Please understand that this is my opinion. But I have seen way too many Washington quarters that have been overgraded.</p><p><br /></p><p>You are not alone in how you feel&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
