silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 08/24/2022 5:48 pm Hi folks, I find another 1968-D quarter which for a novice like me in doubling put questions. The coin is MS 63 or 64 max, common design, nothing special except the two S and the A in STATES. Please take a look and fill back opinions. VV do not list nothing. The fun with this it is that I have other with much more things, was posted 2 weeks ago and have same SAS in states. I overlaps the two coins photos, took from same angle same distance with same camera and fit perfect for SAS in STATES. Sorry for poor photos. Report this Post to the Staff

There doesn't seem to be any notching at the A, E, or serif of the S. The secondary and primary parts all seem to originate at the same point on the S. (No notching) 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
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 08/24/2022 6:16 pm Thanks PETE, for me the first S put me more questions. When I overlap and move is perfect and has like a small split notch. Look I am not a DDR or DDO guy, I am Design varieties. Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5772 Posts	Posted 08/24/2022 6:55 pm Using your design expertise might be an idea on this one. Look at the bottom serif on the S. The base of the secondary S doesn't have the same shape as the real S. I haven't figured out how to do overlays yet but if you were to do one I think the differences would stand out.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/25/2022 12:46 pm Seeing other areas of the design might tell us more. If could be a die wear issue. The big DDR is a lot stronger than this coin is showing: If the other devices are showing movement towards the rim, it maybe just a die wear issue on the die? On a doubled die, the spread is noticed on the centers of the devices, not on the inside/outside areas of the devices. If the lower devices are showing the same direction, it may be just Machine Doubling. I'm not seeing spread on this coin. Edited by coop 08/25/2022 12:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
