makesnocents New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 05/31/2021 02:47 am I have a couple of 1965 quarters that I need your opinions on. Both have similarities but I'm not sure if it is an attributed variety. They appear to be different stages of the die. The motto, IN GOD WE TRUST, is very similar to both. Both have the same die breaks on the base of the bust and back of the head. Both have the long "N" in the motto on the reverse. Even some of the polishing marks are identical. The main differences are in the Machine Doubling of the profile and LIBERTY. What intrigues me most is the doubling around the "I" and "N" in the motto. Is that Die Deterioration? Or possibly double punch? Report this Post to the Staff

makesnocents New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 05/31/2021 7:06 pm Thanks for pointing that out. Just for my own information, can Machine Doubling happen in more than one direction on a single coin? The doubling on the profile is to the east but the doubling that I pointed to in the motto is toward the west. Just a newbie trying to learn. Report this Post to the Staff

Check out the CoopHome thread as it's basically an encyclopedia of coin errors and the minting process. Report this Post to the Staff
VestigeWolf Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 06/01/2021 08:40 am I find it fun when I come across coins with the same die features. I am saving LWC with different stages of the same die (ie.. cracked skull) just to see how many I get and can match up. Interesting what you notice as you keep searching.

makesnocents New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 06/01/2021 2:14 pm IsThisAnything, I wasn't challenging Coop's opinion. I was really asking for clarification on "the same direction" in his comment. In my limited understanding of the process, I took it to mean all in one direction. I didn't know that Machine Doubling could happen in different directions on the same coin. Hence the question. I came here to learn, knowing it could be a great place to get information. My questions were answered regarding the quarters. I learned something new. Thanks for sharing. Report this Post to the Staff
