[QUOTE="Tokyo, post: 672543, member: 20258"]Hi, I'm new here and got here trying, unsucessfully, to find the answer to this... I recently bought a lot of Washington 'junk' quarters and whilst filing them away I came across one which was different from the rest. It is 1958 D but the edge is smooth without serrations just like a wedding ring. It is also a thicker edge than the others-in fact it came to light as I was stacking them up and one stack was wrong. So I bust out the magnifying glass and started to compare it to my others. It would seem like the coin has been stamped over hard so that the rim comes well over the coin face. The words Liberty jam into the underside of that rim not like any of my other coins. It doesn't look like a fake to me (but I'm no expert) but I cant find any info on DDR in my red book or doing the Google searches refering to 1958 Washingto Quarters. Anyone any ideas? Am I a millionaire?:) Tokyo. ps Believe the coin came from Okinawa, if that means anything.[/QUOTE]
