<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jtlee321, post: 2491065, member: 73983&quot;]How can the markers match if the die has not yet developed cracking?&nbsp; Currently the only markers for the WDDO-001 besides the obvious doubling are die cracks on the obverse and reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>You are correct that the markers don&#039;t match, you are trying to match it to a coin that it is not.&nbsp; The doubling between my coin and the WDDO-004 is not the same, the polish lines and die gouges are not the same, hence, it&#039;s not the same variety.&nbsp; The doubling in my coin is EXACTLY the same as the WDDO-001, and because my coin is an earlier die state, there are no cracks evident.&nbsp; I will probably send the coin to both Wexler and Wiles to get the die state annotated as an earlier die state.&nbsp; This would be done mostly for their files, and not because I would be worried that my coin would not attribute as the WDDO-001 or the CONECA DDO-001 variety.&nbsp; James Wiles currently has no photo&#039;s of any of the DDO&#039;s in the 1945-S Washington Quarters.&nbsp; But, he does list the example with the die cracks as a Stage C Late Die State.&nbsp; He also lists a confirmed example in Stage B Mid Die State with no die cracks mentioned.&nbsp; A Stage A Early Die State is unconfirmed as of right now.&nbsp; My opinion is that my example is not a Stage A EDS but rather a State B MDS specimen.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not trying to start anything with you [USER=42872]@Rick Stachowski[/USER].&nbsp; I value your opinions.&nbsp; Right now, I&#039;m not planning on sending it in for grading, as it&#039;s not going to be attributed by PCGS or NGC.&nbsp; I would like to see it get listed in the CPG so that eventually it can be sent in to PCGS or NGC.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
