1910S_1C Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted Yesterday 11:52 pm I was recently browsing ebay auctions that were ending soon and came across this 1942 Washington quarter. Knowing to check this date for doubled dies, I was in the process of inspecting the reverse when I noticed that the bidding had jumped to $261. I thought to myself "I must be missing something" and, sure enough, this coin exhibits the FS-802 DDR, featuring a bold, massive spread on "Quarter Dollar". This price was already beyond what I was willing to spend, so I sat back and watched the show. After a small increase to the high $200s, you can imagine my shock when, in the final seconds, the price jumped to $1134.59. The seller, an experienced ebay coin dealer with over 600,000 sales, must be wondering what he missed.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6681 Posts	Posted Today 7M ago That seller doesn't really seem to attribute varieties. I guess they let the bidders do the work. I would be curious to know if the surfaces on that coin are original or dipped. Report this Post to the Staff
