Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 09/20/2021 4:16 pm I have this 1964 Proof Washington quarter and while I do know that there are some years with re-engraved dies those pertain to only the tail feathers. On this quarter I see where the eagles left wing has been re-engraved. Not really a quarter guy but could this possibly be considered as a re-engraved die even though it is centered only on the wing or is this a common thing? Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5774 Posts	Posted 09/20/2021 9:38 pm It doesn't look as sharp as the re-engraving on the Lincoln cents from 1953. Do you have a link to share showing the other re-engraving from the quarter series? Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/20/2021 10:13 pm I'm not familiar with this one, but considering the weakness on the rest of the die, it maybe one. No wonder they created a new master hub for design for the 1965 design. I've not noticed this before. Thanks for posting this. Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 09/21/2021 05:54 am Thanks guys. Pete, I just go to VV and look at the designs on the quarters. There is a tab for this on every denomination that they attribute. Report this Post to the Staff

Any chance you could give a fellar a link to the re-engraved dies for Washington quarters? Coop brings up a good point about a new master hub this year. I always thought it was because of switching from silver to clad coinage but maybe it was because of the weakness in the master hub. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4404 Posts	Posted 09/21/2021 08:05 am It looks incuse, not raised? So this might be a re-engraved hub, not a re-engraved die like the popular RED varieties. I just went through some of the PCGS images for the 64 proofs. Most if not all of them have this.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/21/2021 10:33 am If it were enhanced on the hub, that would explain why it was incuse. I checked other sources and left a message with Mike Diamond on this one. Added Just check PCGS and nothing was mentioned there, but looking at examples there, they all look like that. Just normal design. 1964-D business strikes, no enhancement on the feathers: 1964-D Type C feathers a bit stronger compared with the 1965 design: Edited by coop 09/21/2021 11:52 am Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/21/2021 12:11 pm So the answer to the original question: Quote: 1964 Proof Washington quarter. Would This Be Considered Re-Engraved? It does appear as re-engraved on the proof quarters, but all of them are the same, thus it is a common event. So no premium for this. *(Learned something new from this thread today)* Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2737 Posts	Posted 09/21/2021 12:45 pm As Coop concluded, this appears to be a re-engraved working hub. I'm surprised I've never heard of this particular re-engraved hub before. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/21/2021 12:51 pm Well all the proof quarters have this alteration to them. So they may have made a second master hub for the proof die. I didn't realize how worn the reverse master hub was until this subject came up. I only focused on the tail feathers in the past. This thread has opened my eyes on widening out view of the master hub wear. Edited by coop 09/21/2021 12:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 09/21/2021 1:41 pm I was hoping you had something there Jim. I look for the 1957D Washington but they are incredibly rare if I haven't spotted one yet. One member here has one. Report this Post to the Staff
