SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 01/18/2021 8:09 pm I usually set aside these named die chips on State Quarters because they sell above face on ebay (I wouldn't pay for one of them, but whatever floats people's boats), but I always check the center of the design on State Quarters for doubling as well. I pulled this one aside because it had an "extra leaf" die chip on the reverse, then looked under the loupe at the earlobe and saw that it was also a minor DDO! Thought it was a kind of cool novelty that it had the fake "doubling" on the reverse from the die chip as well as the real deal on the obverse.

That Coin Dude Pillar of the Community United States 1427 Posts	Posted 01/19/2021 8:30 pm Very nice find, is it on wexler's? If not, you should get it attributed. Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 01/19/2021 10:03 pm Thanks @TCD! I don't believe so. The only comparable one on Wexler's site is at a different angle. Honestly, I find quite a few of these (a decent number unlisted) and it's just not worth the $5 to me to get such minor DDOs listed with my name attached.

shaney777 Valued Member United States 151 Posts	Posted 01/22/2021 06:11 am For me, doubled ear State Quarters are a tough find. It makes sense as well because of massive quarter mintages and not many doubled ear listings. Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 01/22/2021 11:58 am @Shaney They do seem to be on the rarer side compared to similar minor doubled dies like bar cents and some of the more common center die quarter DDRs (I find that about 1 in 5 Wyomings and Homesteads have minor doubling on the saddle horn or windows respectively). Still, a lot are unlisted, so I just check the earlobe of every State Quarter just to be on the safe side. I've found about 25 of them total, most being from a big collection dump of BU State Quarters where I got about 15 Oklahoma double earlobes from the same die.

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 01/22/2021 12:07 pm Very cool! Doubled ears on these quarters are more difficult to find. Plus, you've got an unlisted doubled die here too! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff

Parnelli917 Valued Member United States 392 Posts	Posted 01/23/2021 04:17 am I have a bunch of the "letters missing" die chip Arizonas. I'll have to go back and look for DDs around the ear. NICE! Report this Post to the Staff
