this is the redo post for my 1934 d d 0 25 cent Washington Here for your approval and comments. Short update info is the purchase and made any antique thrift shop he months back for silver spot price. Saw this coin and new what was and had to have it. pretty sure the value for the score is around $300. And purchased at spot price. Not too bad eh? Oh!! Almost forgot. Coming out of his nose. I was thinking, Die crack? I added another pic of IGWT. That's where the action or the main attraction is for this dates variety. I will follow up with one more closeup of Liberty and a note in a bit. Check the bottom tip of the Ponytail. That's where at least confirmation of a Doubled die can be seenquite easy.

Considering there are about 20 for that mint alone, which are you leaning to?

20 Really! Ok. Can you/anyone recommend reading material for 25c varieties? I think th3ere is a Wexler book written on this. anything like cherry-pickers on this? I am going to add a few more pics in a bit. To highlight liberty and a few more key points.

Thought Is the variety I thought. (Response to Fioti's s post above) Got for silver spot. About 2 months a @ a Thrift/antique shop. Also purchased a 1877 Seated Half $ Very fine cond. for around $35 to $40. Both for around $50.Not bad I thought at the time. !/2 may be variety. Look for that post later today. Plus some possible biggies. I've been waiting to post. Some I'd like advise on.

Seems I'm getting some different opinions here. It's all good. Then I apologize for the pics.. I've added a few to try and show more detail and better angles. I am working on lighting and distsance to get better with this. Being able to provide for others to view. It is a little difficult. Seems some difference on what others need to see what they want.
I can assure you there are markis on the chin, nose that show well. But I can't seem to catch yet. At least on these series of pics.. There is one member that piocked up on it right away on the possible $300 plus variety. This is the one I was thinking. I have to check google and find the related # agin. Anybody know of hand by vhance?
There is also marks on bottom of ponytail and two that seem to connect with each other just to the right of ponytail on the rim and flashes to the other point to its left towards the bottom of the neck.
As is though, can't you guys see at least the action around date & espesially IGWT. plus the area between the 'E & R' in LIBERTY? figured these were clear enough to see in these pics.
And wait a minute... what about the areas around the nech bottom and up and aroun=d to the nose. Seems to be alot of seperation or certain activity in this ares. Also i'll work om getting the marks to show on the tip of nose and chin. I'm positive of these and would like them to be seen. Thanks for taking part and to hear more.

I'm not seeing anything on this coin that would lead me to believe its a DDO. Not even in the places you said to look, date, IGWT etc... Looks like a normal quarter to me. Maybe with some more detailed pics but idk. |

joey. I agree with Jayman931 in not seeing a DDO. Like most newbies, you want so much for your coin to be the error or variety you think it is. There are untold resources on the net, including this forum, with descriptions and photos of any error or variety coin you can think of. Study them and eventually you will be able to tell for yourself. Meanwhile rely on the judgement of the contributors to this forum. |

It's ok But, are we looking at the same Pics? P wouldn't have posted this if I didn't think it was or had the possiblity, I have looked caregully enough and have the understanding if the doubled die, And it only takes one mark really to justify a doubled die, But this exceedds that. No offense or non taken here, Why you csannot see the activity inbetween thr letters in Libety or IGWT shows on the letters and around.thikenong the letters, O'm looking at the samw pics as you and can see what i;m describing, And the ;line jetting out of his mouth are made up of t hese marks, As I have seen this activity in other type of varieties. Written to say this part of the DDO, But the smaller hidden shinny marks you are probaslly looking for are as I've dstated in the tip of nose and chin/ I'll try to get in better lighting and hopefullt get them to show themselves to you, I'll try to addd to this later. I need test lighting ansd see whats works first, then I;ll add. But I am still wondering you cannot see the acctivities between e and r in liberty, As I surely see action that is concidered Dbling This alone on the tip of the out strecthing leg of the R is usually considered as such, In IGWT and the neck up through the spitting line from his face should be enough alone to satisfy the DDO. The 4 in the date to the 4;s right side? See there. Maybe there you csn see, As activity is also there, I just looked at the coin itself. On to do a couple of posts I need to get on. But work on getting updates to this asap todasy or evening. Oh ys almost forgot. I posted this in the grading forum. And there withoout any solicitation. A member in his own wrote "Where did yiu get that $300 plus quatrter?Which implies he sees onhis own the variety in question. And also knows the valie involved. Was I thankful to atleast see thst. As I was beginning to wonder. I hope the spellimg is all good. it;s to late and I am to tired to go back and see. Later |
