fourzon New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 02/05/2008 3:33 pm I found a 1999 P Connecticut Quarter that has dramatic doubling of some sort. I was curious what anybody else thought about this. Opinions please?! Report this Post to the Staff

Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 02/06/2008 08:32 am I believe you are seeing Strike Doubling which does not carry a premium. However, hopefully one of our error experts will respond with a more knowledgable opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 02/06/2008 09:52 am It's an odd looking combination of Machine Doubling and Die Deterioration Doubling. It's a die that has wasted away, and this particular strike was a bit loose...that's all I see on it. Report this Post to the Staff
fourzon New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 02/06/2008 11:23 am Thank you for clarifying that, I was confused. I still think it's a pretty cool looking though, it's the first one like that that I've seen. Report this Post to the Staff
j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 02/08/2008 08:51 am I'm certain I've read somewhere that there is a CT doubling error Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 02/08/2008 4:04 pm I noticed how all the "doubling" tapers to the tips of the branches, without doubled points. I assume if this were a true DDO, we'd see some separation there with all the design complexity. Still, it's a very good coin to check because any DDO should be readily apparent.

Shamrock4sure Valued Member United States 101 Posts	Posted 02/08/2008 5:30 pm For jis, The Connecticut has Machine Doubling on the Connecticut and inside the loops on the 8's. Not necessarily the same coin. Yours is the first that I have seen with the doubling on the tree. If you like errors and varieties it's a keeper. Report this Post to the Staff
