1965 Washington Quarter DDO FS-101 Or FS-102 Or Neither? +1967 DDO

to CCF. Please post one coin at a time in your threads. I am pretty much lost with all of the pictures you have supplied.

I agree it gets confusing posting so many coins at once. Best to do 1 at a time so people are willing to comment.

That being said, the 7th image (coin B) seems to show thickness on the vertical parts of TRT (TRUST). There might even be notching on the upper corners on N,W, and first T (IGWT)

LIBERTY looks to be MD.

mikesnyd97,

Well circulated coins and glare from the lighting can affect our perception of what's going on so your image may not be a true representation of what's happening. Clear images with no glare are always a plus.

I took your image of IGWT from coin "B" and added some arrows.


Notching I have pointed out on the corners could be a number of things (die flow lines, circulation damage, glare, etc) but it seems to be pretty consistent on certain areas of the letters.

There seems to be some extra thickness on some of the vertical legs of TRUST as well. I'm not really familiar with the designs on these quarters to know if it is just the design, but something does seem to be thicker that isn't consistent with Die Deterioration or MD.

Hopefully, you can add a few clear images of the areas that I've added arrows to or others here can add insight or comment on the image I've marked.

Machine Doubling is always found on the outside edges of the devices, just like your coin. A doubled die enlarges the centers of the devices. Your coin was from a normal die, the MD happened after the strike. A doubled die has the doubling on the die. Not caused by the machine. But MD can happen on a doubled die, just like the example I posted. But is not part of the doubled die.
