Got a couple rolls of 2009 mixed in with my last purchase so figured I'd better check for all those DDRs. A quick scan of a few obverses first produced a surprise! Ended up with 7 DDO-001 from the roll. 2009 FY Lincoln Cent doubled die DDO-001 - later die state - marker is chip on collar to right of LIBERTY     Oh yeah, and there were a bunch of early die state DDR-046 coins in there as well, which looks a whole lot like DDR-004 2009 FY Lincoln Cent doubled die DDR-046 - marker is die crack from O and EDS pre-die chip depression on shoulder    |

What is doubled on either of these? Because these are not obvious even under magnification. I collect double die quarters and all that I have can be seen rather easily under magnification.

@3193zd, on the first coin the date has light extra thickness with LIBERTY showing extra thickness East West with light notching. On the DDR the thumb shows a spread towards the south. |

Excellent job spotting that DDO on the date. Looks like it can be hard to spot. And that DDR is a nice easy one to see. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Exactly right on the spotting thing. The DDR was impossible to miss under almost any lighting angle, but the DDO was pretty much a thickness thing. If you aren't used to just spotting the extra letter thickness on modern DDO's you'd probably never pick that one out with a loupe. I didn't see the notching until I put it under the scope. |

Very nice TB! Great shape too! I wish Wexler were able to update his website. I have the 2009 D PL DDO-002 (plate coin), it's been over a year since he attributed it and to this day I have yet to see another one posted on the board.

Jim0815, John Wexler has updated his site 3 times. Take a look.
Errers and Varietys.

WOW!! Yes I am impressed you found these. I have many DDO and DDR silver quarters and I get push back when there is no clear doubling. I have had several complain that the several notched ends of the letters is really not significant to even discuss. I understand wide spreads as well.I guess LMCs are a different bird! |
