Hi a friend told me about this site after showing him some coins I have had since the year they came out. He told me that I might be able to get an idea of what type of errors these are, I always assumed them to be doubled die but have never been sure, I commonly reffer to them as my double nose quarters, with exception to two of them, one is missing some of the nickle, and the other I call my triple chin quarter. I've been an off and on collector but like I mentioned I have had these since they came out and really would like to know how to find out what they are worth and just a little more about how they were formed. Thanks Gary
One more that I have. I don't know how well these would appear in photos but when I found them they appeared as graduale errors that formed, starting out as smaller outlines then turning into the more pronouced that some of these pictures show. Gary
I moved your posts here and out of the other thread so maybe more people will see it and be able to help. Speedy
Those are some spectacular examples of machine doubling damage. The 1990-D is a true error with a partial mising clad layer.
You mention machine doubling damage, after seeing that I looked around on a few other site and what I seen talk about it mostly being a flat shadow type of doubling. The 1991 coin I posted clearly shows details in the hairline that isn't flatted out, is it common for machine doubling to produce the detail doubling like that? (You can also see some of that detail in at least one of the 1990 coins as well) As I mentioned before I've been an off and on collector and I'm just looking to learn more about this and other types of errors.

Wonder what caused the rim damage just below the date, on the coin with the missing chunk of clad layer?
Not sure I've kept them in plastic containers for as long as I've owned the coins, and it has always been there. Gary
