2016 Roosevelt Quarter Shattered Die?

Yeah, the concentric circles don't match with being cut by pliers. If you can't account for all effects with an explanation, then the explanation should be discarded.

Thanks big-kingdom nick10 and jmkendall. I'm going to take a gamble and send it in. Overall look is telling me this is not PMD. I also would expect to see more damage if somebody put the pliers to this one. It will be an educational experience for me at least when it comes back whether real or faked.

Obviously PMD, don't waste your money.

All? Okay, good luck!!

Thanks mos0239. Doubled dies going to anacs errors to NGC and high grades to PCGS. Wish I could do a bulk submission now but it won't work out for me until later. Probably going to anacs with the doubled dies

Ok yes that sounds like a good plan to move forward even with our input. When you hear back, can you please post to this thread whatever the TPG thinks? Thx.

Thanks spence and coop. I've been collecting for 3 years now and have come across a few unlisted errors and varieties. The first coin I posted here was said to be basically a damaged coin. Turns out it was exactly what I posted in the title. New major doubled die variety. If I just took the word of others who knows how long it may have taken to be discovered if ever. I try add to the hobby not be detrimental to it. Thankfully anacs is running another special for fall so it will cost me a grand total of about 20 bucks to see what's to this coin. Absolutely worth it to me. I really do appreciate everyone's opinions because it helps me make a more informed decision. I always say I don't know or I could be wrong because that is simply the case. I don't comment on much because I don't have the experience or qualifications to. I recently read that even on the 1955 doubled die there was not consensus and some considered it modern junk. The coin was said to be hard to sell for 1 dollar at the time. I like history and I like coins. Sometimes history repeats itself

Just coin damage. There have been no doubled die reverses on that area of the ATB Quarters. All the doubling there is Machine Doubling on incuse devices:




Take piece of new aluminum foil with the shiny side up and the dull side downwards. Press the foil on to the devices. If the devices are raised, they will be raised on the shiny side. If they are incuse, then they will be raised on the dull side. That is one way you can check these to know for sure for yourself. These devices are raised on the die, and the slightest amount of movement of the dies, will alter these devices 70% of the time. (Slight to huge) The doubled dies are on the central areas of the both sides of the coins devices.
