Good luck Hoppyg, hope both of your coins come back good.Normally it takes him a day or two to get back to you after he receives the package. The point of this forum is to educate those who are new and do not know much so they can educate others in the future. Slamnbass, my bad, I joined here around that time and was just a noobie then and didn't really know much and then later when I learned a lot more I got my first listing and didn't know of anyone else who was written up and it was the same last night.

Below is a photo of a Harpers Ferry quarter with the same issue. I believe it is fairly clear that the die bounced and replicated the deepest part of the window on the window frame At least the one I have is Machine Doubling. Still Lookin  |

Still Lookin, good eye, and you are correct. Mr. Wexler reviewed the coin, and it is not a DDR. Can't win them all. The 2012 P LSC I submitted along with the Harper's Ferry did turn out to be a new listing, and Mr. Wexler will be featuring the LSC in an up coming varieties column in Coin World. Thanks for all the feedback guys. Learning more everyday. |

I discovered a Harper's Ferry Doubled Die (WDDR-001) and it was posted to Wexler's site a few days ago. It does not come up well under my digital microscope, I recommend using a loupe or other magnifying glass to find other Harpers Ferry doubled dies. http://doubleddie.com/2247758.html |

2 more doubled dies were posted on Wexlers site the other day, Wddr-002 and wddr-003 (I didn't discover these). I submitted another one I found in a 100 coin bag of harpers ferry quarters from the mint. I am still waiting to hear back from him. I tried to put a picture of it in this post but the picture was to large and the image optimizer on this site stetched it out and made it look odd.

Hi everyone. New here. Started searching a box of quarters. Found two Harper's Ferry pictured.The inside of the rim/ring on back goes through (or under) the year, one is very pronounced and the other is faintly noticeable. Any input appreciated. Can't find any info online.   |

TomlnVa57, Seems to be damage from a coin rolling or Coin Wrapping Machine. They are known to leave marks such as this on the surface of coins on the end(s) of the roll. The date is incused so the damage actually skirts over the top of them at the field level, not behind or underneath. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st

The outer ring on the ATB Quarters devices are incuse. So a coin scratch will look like it flows behind the devices. But it is actually the opposite. The devices are deeper than the surface coin scratch. That is what you are seeing on the above coin. |

I would tend to agree with you Halo1st, but if this was coin roll machine damage, wouldn't the numbers in the year also be damaged? Looks like the inner ring was stamped then the year was stamped over it, well, that's what it looks like to me.
Coop - I'm scratching my head on your reply, have to remember, I'm a newbie, please use laymen terms :)

Being they are incused / embedded and not raised, the scrape skirts across the field and over them. The damage shown appears to be at the field level or surface of the coin and not deep enough to alter the incused (date) devices much. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st
