[QUOTE="spock1k, post: 589746, member: 7043"]one of u should send me one if you find many based on what is said here :D In the May 19 issue of Numismatic News I reported on one very strong doubled-die reverse for the Denver version of the 2009 District of Columbia quarter and three 2009-P doubled-die reverses that ranged from moderately strong to minor. I predicted that more varieties would be found. Such has been the case, but only for Philadelphia. Rick LaJoie of New Hampshire has spotted three new varieties on the 2009-P D.C. quarter while another one of our readers has spotted a doubled-die obverse on the Okalahoma State quarter. LaJoie's finds start with a fairly strong doubled-die reverse that shows a secondary black key between the two normal black keys to the right of Ellington's left arm. A small die crack from the top of the piano below the "L" of COLUMBIA is a marker that helps identity this stage of the variety. Numerous die scratches and a die chip show below the word QUARTER also help identify this coin. I offer markers to help identify these doubled dies as many more different doubled-die varieties might be reported for the date/denomination with some being very similar to one another. Markers definitely help differentiate one from the other when they are present and many varieties are involved. I've listed this variety in the Variety Coin Register for the date, mint, denomination and type as VCR#4/DDR#4. So far I've only seen one of these sell on eBay and it went for $31 on May 11 with eight bids from six unique bidders. His next coin shows doubling of the first and second black keys to the right of Duke Ellington's left arm, doubling of the sleeve of the same arm and light doubling of one of the white keys. This one shows numerous die scratches through LIBERTY and other areas of the obverse. A die chip is in the upper "E" of LIBERTY. Arrows point to some prominent die scratches/flow lines emanating from the "F" of FOR on the reverse. I've listed it as VCR#5/DDR#5. One of these traded on eBay on May 11 for $57.56 with six bids from five unique bidders. read more here [url]http://www.coinnews.tv/More-DC-Coins-are-Doubled-Dies.htm[/url][/QUOTE]
