Rienzope New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 01/29/2009 1:09 pm I found this last night in my change. "1859" on the reverse looked doubled to me. I think there was some slight doubling on the "S" above "1859" as well. Has anyone else seen this? Edited by Rienzope 01/29/2009 1:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Jazzcoins Valued Member United States 301 Posts	Posted 02/02/2009 10:55 am The Alaska quarter is known to have die chips in between the claws it has been established already no doubled die. I have several Ala ska quarters with many die chips in between the claws as well as different areas of the coin IN GOD WE TRUST for instance There will only be die chips on the claws no doubled dies Welcome to the forum Jazz Edited by Jazzcoins 02/02/2009 1:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 02/02/2009 1:12 pm I'm not sure how anyone can ascertain that there is no doubled die for any issue in existence. Perhaps that should be reworded to state that there are no doubled dies currently known for the issue - not that none exist. Report this Post to the Staff
Jazzcoins Valued Member United States 301 Posts	Posted 02/02/2009 1:28 pm Yes you right I did word it wrong sorry coppercoins Yes die chips have been found in between the claws which have been mistaken for doubled dies that have been sold as a variety on ebay .and there not There hasn't been any doubled dies associated in that area of the coin as of yet the claws.You could also see a die chip in the letter R in liberty as I stated. I don't see any indications of doubling behind the ear I think the coin is damaged from circulation lots of marks on the fields Thanks Jazz Edited by Jazzcoins 02/02/2009 8:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff
