This is kind of a mild lamination error but don't see this too often on silver quarters so figured I'd post it. 1941 Washington quarter mint error - lamination   |

Nice silver delam. Strange how it moves east along the wreath, almost looks struck through there.

Great find. I like it. I don't find lam's much in my silver stacking.

With the melting of so much silver, it will reduce the number of remaining struck coins. So it will increase the interest on a lamination in future.

Nice, very nice. It is a proof strike of 1941 with a crack silver planchet. IMO more a cause of the strike pression. I will look more close to the letter Q (maybe COOP) to see if it is not DDR Q and also funny the center second leaf on the right side. |

Very neat to see an unusual lamination on such a coin. To Silviosi, it to me looks like a Machine Doubling issue than a DDR  |

I do not pronounce me on the Q DDR on the quarters till 1965 because are very hard to spot. Some are the upper inner, some are bottom inner with the high outside and some just bottom outside. And what was, is just the Q on all coin was DD. So me I just suggest to check. Also me personally I never has on this series proof an MD. Could exist? probably, and will be nice to see.

If it wraps over the edge, it could be a struck through debris issue. The coin would weight a minuscule bit heavier if it is a struck through debris?

Thanks for all the great comments! It's not a DDR, and the bit above the leaves is related to the lamination. Like many laminations there is a small bit of associated struck through folded over material, most visible on the E of QUARTER.  |

Some areas are showing fold overs, making if look more confusing.

Cujohn, you are right. My first post was base on the first photo which was not focus. Yes it is a business strike Type A Ib. Ib are mean that the leaf over the A is their. Till 1950 we can find with the leaf or without. More scarce without after 1938 except firsts proofs.
