stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 12/28/2014 10:45 pm Hello to all, new kid on the block . Found this one close to 20 years ago. It's not a monster but it is a cool Quad. Haven't seen a listing for it anywhere and was wondering if anyone had seen this one before? Report this Post to the Staff

kevinj Valued Member United States 77 Posts	Posted 12/28/2014 11:34 pm Published a book in 2005 called The Authoritative Reference on Barber quarters List eleven 1892 doubled die obverses, including two quads. This looks like DDO-001, which should have nice repunching on the 18. Kevin Report this Post to the Staff
stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 12/29/2014 01:02 am Thanks for looking ! Die 001 is not mine . Mine has no repunching of the date Report this Post to the Staff
kevinj Valued Member United States 77 Posts	Posted 12/29/2014 01:38 am can you see if there are any diagnostics such as die cracks on the obv/rev. I see a die crack through the top of TR. Is there any doubling on the reverse? Of course it might be one that I did not see when writing the book. Barber seems to have rushed these when annealing as most are class II doubled dies.

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 12/29/2014 12:55 pm The camera I use is an old beat up Sony a100 , their first dslr. For whole coin shots I use a 60mm micro lens and for closeups I choose between some bellows micros ,copy camera, and enlarge lenses used at the end of extention tubes and bellowes. All this and the coin are mounted to a camera sled I cobbled together that holds the whole shooting match nice and steady ! Report this Post to the Staff
