Hello again to the Modern Coin CCF family. Could you please have a look at the attached images of 1982-D-Washington-OBV? From what it looks like, compared to other sources is some type of planchet slip or OBV DD. This is by comparing the lettering pressed up against the rim (top and bottom) and all the terrible fat doubling of In God We Trust, and also of the mint mark. The REV seems to look normal. My understanding is that the OBV issue was eventually identified at Denver and fixed for subsequent coin production. I know 1982 quarters are good to keep anyway, but does this make it even more desirable for me to keep? Feedback? Thoughts? Oh, and something else that seems inconsistent, is whether Washington's ponytail should be touching his neck or not? Might make for some interesting interaction.... As always, I thank you in advance.   Edited by thrifty_nickel

Certainly adds another talking point with the coin, as well as the die break in the 'D' mintmark.

Thank you very much for replying. Ah...okay, so that is a OBV Die break?...Still learning...forever. There is just so much to learn, and so incredibly fascinating! So, given that, should I keep this one with the other 1982s and 1983s I have, but place this in a holder indicating the die break, and anything else?
I'd love more feedback and communication from you, and possibly other forum members. I find this a fascinating era of the Quarter.
Thank you again.

On the head there is coin wrapper damage. The design looked like this that year. The master hub was swelling outwards. Note how the devices are into the rim area. This was fixed the following year with a new master hub:   How much larger the head and other devices are on the 1982 quarter? This issue was take care of on the following year. If they would have fixed it during the year, there would have been a large and small date issue. But they waited till 1983 to change this out. |

WOW!! I did note the head shading and bulge appearance, but didn't even consider that to be a wrapper/mint issue. And, I certainly did not have that image of the hubs and dies to consider. But, I get it. I do understand it. I believe I may have even mentioned it being addressed the next year, but I didn't have a clue of what "it" was as the issue being addressed.
You folks are fantastic! So, any suggestion for when I keep this with the other 1982-D's, what should I place on the holder to accurately annotate it?
Thank you for the feedback and images. I have copied the Hub/Die image for future reference.

The only thing that I can muster from it all is that during 1982-1983, there were none offered in official United States uncirculated sets. Additionally, we have discovered this production has the Mint Mark Die break, and the master hub swelling. Oh, and Washington's head there is coin wrapper damage. Still learning.....

Save them in BU on both years and mintmarks. The coin damage makes this one a spender. In those two years, if you wanted a mint set, you had to go to the mints to buy them from the mint. So they mint sets are fewer those years and most who are completing books like to get the BU coins from a mint set. So if you be OBW BU rolls of these, snag them. (Most are unaware of the previous information) This one is a spender.
