Hey guys, I've got 2 quarters here I am unsure about. I'd like your feedback.

#1 is a 1971 D quarter with possible reverse doubling? The E in UNITED appears to be touching the wing. The M in AMERICA appears to be touching the wing and the E next to it. The N in UNUM is touching the eagles head.

#2 is a 1994 P quarter with slight obverse broadstrike?

Both coins look normal to me. The first coin shows signs of a late die state. The devices tend to expand.

The second coin looks like the dies were slightly misaligned but I can't say for sure without seeing the reverse. From what I see, your coin appears to be the regular size.

For information on what a broad struck coin looks like visit this page: http://www.error-ref.com/?s=broadstrike%27
Rest in Peace

Called die attrition or Die Deterioration. as dies age, metal flows outwards, details flatten, widen and stretch. Just a VLDS die. Look for die cracks!

First coin is in a LDS (Late Die state) and that's why it looks like that. Also shows bad environmental damage on the front. Second coin is not at all a Broadstrike. It's etheir a MAD (Misaligned Die) or a Partial Collar error. Both are worth face value and are spenders.

Thanks for posting the reverses. Nothing special there.

No harm in asking. There's a lot to learn about error coins. I've been trying to learn about them for years and I still have to look things up all the time -- and I am still frequently wrong.

Keep searching. There's stuff out there waiting to be found.
