I have shown this coin before but gave it a good going
over today with the macro lens. This coin was a gift from
my wife and is my Avatar. Chock full of neat features.

The reverse strike is weak and doubled, the obverse has
Die Deterioration and die cracks with a double HP,
obverse die was overused.

On the reverse, I see the doubled antler, a weak H as the
designers initial, weakness in the strike around the
small antlers by the date, weird shaped denticles,
doubling in the 4 and 8 in the date.

Any and all comments welcome, do you have a 1948 quarter
with any of these features?

On the obverse, doubling of the obverse legends (die
deterioration doubling possibly) die cracks on D in DEI,
TIA, R in REX, double HP, a possible planchet flaw at the
base of the bust.
