<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 1086214, member: 18157&quot;]LOL...I&#039;m looking at a roll of 1959-d quarters right now! Ever since I found of mini-hoard of Type-B reverses, I&#039;ve been scouring rolls of quarters for more. Breen says Type-Bs can also be found in the Denver coins of the same period, but I haven&#039;t seen any (still looking).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;ve gone through quite a few rolls of Washington quarters and have seen the same anomolies you mention...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1. The &quot;doubling&quot; of letters in UNITED STATES of AMERICA is (as you say) machine doubling.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>2. I posted a thread a year or two ago about interesting die cracks on the Obverse and Reverse of these quarters. They run across Washington&#039;s forehead and into the field on the Obverse. On the Reverse, common cracks run through QUARTER, across the outer edge of the wing, through E PLURIBUS, and down the other wing. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>3. I&#039;ve seen a variety of misshaped MMs, but none that I can say look exactly like Cherrypickers&#039;. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One thing that I find interesting...and seems to be consistent from roll to roll...is that there is generally 4-5 distinct groupings of anomolies per roll. For instance, I&#039;ll see about 8-10 coins with similar die cracks and another 8-10 with the same shaped MM, or 8-10 with a filled die, etc. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That leads me to believe that the coins making up the roll are coming off multiple presses; each with slightly different die characteristics. Perhaps multiple machines fill a bag and the bag is then sent out to be rolled. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When I was finding Type-B reverses, only about 8-10 coins per roll were Type-B reverses. I see that same trend when searching Unc rolls of Roosevelt dimes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
