mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 05/15/2018 10:56 am Based on other, similar specimens I've examined (both quarters and dimes), this would be a case of rim-restricted design duplication. Here's a Coin World column on one of those quarters (sans photos): https://www.coinworld.com/news/us-c...ake.all.html And here's the entry in error-ref.com (scroll down): http://www.error-ref.com/?s=rim-res...+duplication This type of Machine Doubling occurs when the hammer die bounces up, shifts laterally, and lands lightly on the newly-formed design rim. In the case of the quarters and dimes, the hammer die may also be sliding through the design rim (not much of a bounce). The weakness and doubling of QUARTER DOLLAR is puzzling, as this effect is not associated with RRDD. The doubling is either Machine Doubling or grease-mediated radial smear. The fadeout is most likely due to the presence of "grease" on the die, as the obverse design across from the weak letters is well-struck. Error coin writer and researcher.

Chavez Valued Member United States 252 Posts	Posted 05/15/2018 11:41 am Mr. Diamond. Thanks for your review on this coin. Is this an oddball coin that should be looked into deeper? Is it gradable? I'm new to the Coin World. Please give me your opinion and others on his forum too. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 05/15/2018 12:21 pm Keep a record of this thread with the coin. I doubt that there's anyone at any grading company that can tell you more about it than Mike Diamond already has. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/15/2018 12:49 pm The sad part is that the graders don't consider Machine Doubling or Struck Through Grease as an issue. Together it made a great error. Does the edge have reeds all the way around or just affected on one area?

Chavez Valued Member United States 252 Posts	Posted 05/15/2018 12:57 pm Coop. Please see page one one this thread. I have some pics of the spacing around the affected and non affected area of the coin. I hope that answers your question. Report this Post to the Staff
Chavez Valued Member United States 252 Posts	Posted 05/15/2018 3:38 pm Coop. Thanks for using my quarter for your educational files. I'm really happy it made you decide to add it to your work. Where do I go to try and figure out the worth of this error coin? Are there other folks who can get me some additional info if I wish to sell? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/15/2018 4:08 pm I made an image for the edge, but wan't sure if it was that way all around or just that one area. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/15/2018 4:40 pm Looking at the tops of the devices on LIBERTY showing how close the die was to the rim is interesting. 1982 shows the closest spread of the master die that year. 1983 shows a wider area. So like the 1968 cent master hub was replaced in 1969, this must have happened on the 1983 master hub? Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74592 Posts	Posted 05/15/2018 4:47 pm That's very interesting Coop! Another new thing I've learned today! Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/15/2018 4:50 pm Me to. I was wondering why the design looked different on the 1983 compared with the 1982 quarters. That explains how the hop and the strike would make the die bounce to the rim area on this error. That makes sense now. Edited by coop 05/15/2018 4:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74592 Posts	Posted 05/15/2018 4:58 pm The 1983 Quarter design is so much different. The letters are very fat and big in shape. Is it a worn Master Die issue? Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/15/2018 5:00 pm That maybe the case. I don't want to run ahead on this. But it looks like it. Report this Post to the Staff
Chavez Valued Member United States 252 Posts	Posted 05/15/2018 5:03 pm Coop, If you want me to, I can get some more spacing on the edges if you think it would be worth doing so via high def pics from microscope at work? Report this Post to the Staff
