Pherphy New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 09/08/2018 01:33 am I was looking through the lot of coins from pocket change and I came across this quarter from 1992. I looked at it and it stared me back. I was wondering what might be cudded up around IGWT. Die chip perhaps? Report this Post to the Staff

Pherphy New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 09/08/2018 1:49 pm It sure does look like one. Not bad for change back at the store. I got a Woody LMC in change the day prior! Report this Post to the Staff

Pherphy New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 09/08/2018 1:56 pm On the 2nd 9 around the top of the number on the date does that look like a light doubled die? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/08/2018 2:22 pm Looks like a coin wrapper clipped the tops of those devices. On a doubled die, the devices need to be enlarged, not altered by flattening in a area. Here is what a DDO would look like on the date: Note how the devices are widening. This doubling is on the die, thus the term doubled die, because the die is doubled. Note the notching on the 34? That is because the hub was creating a double set of devices that didn't match up like the 19 has where it just widened those devices. Remember damage and MD reduced the normal size of the device. A doubled die had the devices enlarged because of the hub doubling. Not by a machine damaging a coin or an coin even that altered the normal devices. Hope this helps. Report this Post to the Staff
Pherphy New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 09/08/2018 3:13 pm It definitely does Coop. I'm still trying to get it down packed. I know it better to look torwards the middle of rgw devices rather than the edge. Every bit of literature is valuable. Thank you Report this Post to the Staff
