Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5779 Posts	Posted 11/19/2021 10:58 pm I got lucky and found a known Kennedy variety last month in a proof set and that piqued my interest to look for more. Well, I finally won another 1964 proof set last weekend and there were no Kennedy varieties in it but there was this Washington quarter that seems to be a DDR. The separation and notching seem to be concentrated on QUAR, (especially the R) and doesn't match any known Proof varieties on Variety Vista. http://varietyvista.com/09b%20WQ%20...s%201964.htm It doesn't seem possible that a DDR like this one would escape notice till now. Since I focus mostly on Lincoln's I was hoping others here might offer some opinions or comments. I got a new phone and scope going it might improve the quality of my images but that's not proving to be the case, especially taking the images through the mint cello packaging. Thanks in advance. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, there's a dark spot that has a little color to it when the light hits it just right! Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 11/19/2021 11:44 pm I'd say that the notching on the R of QUARTER is pretty strong. If that's how it looks in hand and it's not glare from the case then I think you've got a nice one.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5779 Posts	Posted 11/20/2021 04:48 am Thanks CH27. That is notching on the first R. That is where it and the separation shows up the strongest.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/20/2021 11:13 am But this could be a high bounce? Are the devices enlarged? Or are the normal sized? Some areas are showing Machine Doubling. The images are looking too tight in making it look like it is something, but back off to the full words, then you will see they are looking for something that is too minor to list, or Machine Doubling. Even this far back you can see the DDR on this coin below. Seen because of the enlarging of the devices. Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5779 Posts	Posted 11/20/2021 4:41 pm Thanks for taking a look Coop. I wish more of the devices were doubled, the separation was larger and I was more confident about quarters. But there is definite notching on the Q, A, & R. U has a slight separation line The doubling on my coin is very similar to the doubling to QUAR on DDR-005 (but DDR-005 is a business strike coin. http://varietyvista.com/09b%20WQ%20...PDDR005.htm). I may try some more images to see if I can capture the doubling better. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

EScottCoins Valued Member 97 Posts	Posted 11/20/2021 9:17 pm Hello, I have a question for coop: I've seen you post at times, as here, that enlarged devices are (seemingly) a necessary identification for a doubled die. If so would you please enlighten me as to why you believe this to be true? Thank you! Petespockets55: Definitely a doubled die, nice find! I have a couple of the same variety. Mild but still nice. You have a great eye! Happy collecting! E. J. Scott Edited by EScottCoins 11/20/2021 9:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5779 Posts	Posted 11/21/2021 08:49 am Thanks for the confirmation EScottCoins and that you have a few as well. Like I said I'm not real confident with "white metal" coins but this has all the hallmarks of a doubled die. Coop, do you have any example images of or links to the "high bounce" doubling you are referring to for me to compare? Thanks to everyone for comments and input. I keep learning everytime there is some. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
