I can't wait to see what this is once you get it posted! I'm not really well versed on posting images either, but maybe someone else here can help you. Did you click on the green "insert an image file" below?

INSERT AN IMAGE. BEFORE YOU POST. LOOK AT THE GREEN CAMERA ABOVE THE POST NEW REPLY. THEN BROWSE TO FIND YOUR PICTURE THEN UPLOAD IT, THEN POST REPLY.

Having been born in 1942, I save every coin with that date that I can get my hands on. Unfortunately, although I have dozens of them, I have nothing out of the ordinary.  |

Actually the term is "doubled die" - not "double die", and you don't have one in what you show. This trench around the profile of Washington is actually very normal, and there is some doubt as to why it was done...well, actually differences of opinion between a number of different people. This is also very common on 1943 cents. A doubled die looks completely different from what you are showing in those images. It's not a double line around anything...it's actually a doubled impression of the design on the die, so the doubling actually has relief like the remainder of the design. Your coin could still be a doubled die in that there are a vast number of different dies from 1942 and 1943 in the Washington quarter series that are in fact doubled dies. Check for separation lines and notching at the corners of the letters of LIBERTY. That's a good starting point. |

[URL="http://img231.imageshack.us/my.php?image=double420078cf.jpg]  [/URL] not real sure if this will work but the photo is of the same coin and has this effect all over the coin. It's got me baffled (course that don't take a whole lot). |

Hammerhead, look at Cave Troll's post with pics of Jan. 24 in the Interesting Find From Circulation thread. There are some pretty nice pics of a 1974-D Kennedy half with true doubling. Notice how there is separation of the two images and both images are raised and rounded, instead of the secondary image being flat and shelflike. And, as coppercoins says, look for notching as well. The great thing about this is that you are looking closely at your coins! I once attended a seminar where Bill Fivaz was present. (one of the authors of the Cherrypicker's Guide) One of his main points was that so often we don't really LOOK at our coins. We may look for grading purposes, but don't often pull out the stronger lens for doubled dies, repunched mintmarks, dates etc. On the older stuff especially, look down in the denticles and up in the devices for rpm's and dates! It's actually pretty cool that you found a 1942 quarter in pocket change too!  Your second pic of the quarter at Washington's hair ribbon looks a little more promising to me. It looks like at that point there might be some true doubling for whatever reason. I'm interested in your opinion Coppercoins. |

adobero1, Thank you, I can see the difference. The thing that gets me is the pic's of the 37 and the 43 doubles in the Red Book. They are not really strong doubles. The kennedy is awesome, true double. I guess I was just hoping the doubles were weak in the quarter's. Even so your right that finding it in circulation was pretty cool, I tossed my change on the desk and the silver just rang my ears. Gotta love that sound lol.  Thanks, David |
