There is doubling on almost all of the reverse and rather than posting way too many pictures I have posted the most interesting examples. There are also striations between the arrowheads and the left wing spreading down into the leaves in uniform pattern. The wings are doubled into the devices. So I am wanting expert opinions of what I am seeing. Is this a DDR/TDR or just a LDS. Or is this the result of multiple strikes. P.S. I looked on Wexler's and there is no listing for a 1969 S Quarter DDR. Report this Post to the Staff

fruitofmycoins Valued Member 72 Posts	Posted 09/28/2020 05:39 am Thank you for your input. I guess I was talking about the wing from the viewers perspective not the eagle's. Thanks for the correction. Report this Post to the Staff
