I pulled from circulation in 2019, at around the time others started finding them. BlueRidgeSilverHound, and another, have posted videos stating none are being sold? The "discovery coin" sold for $50K, at least that is what ebay stated. So, should I get graded? It is slightly off center struck on the obverse, and a possible error on the lower neck?

That is a slight misaligned die with a contact mark from another coin on the neck. Value 25 cents. Can you supply a link to the $50,000 quarter on ebay. |

The quarter is an attributed DDO and is discussed by BlueRidgeSilverhound in 2021...that is the link. lol Here is another that you don't have to google: http://varietyvista.com/09e%20WQ%20...0quarter.htmThere is contact from another coin on the UPPER neck, but the lower looks more like a strike through, but that is tangential to the main topic of the DDO, and more to the condition if graded. |

I don't see a match to the doubling on the variety vista coin. Looks to me like you have a normal ciruclated coin with a few contact marks. I also don't see any ebay sold listings for NMI doubled die quarters. I do see two listed - the circulated P minted coin has a BIN price of $1.99 and the circulated D minted coin has a BIN price of $3.00. If you're confident in you attribution and are sure there is a market for a graded example then by all means send it in to be graded. |

nfine, it is an absolute match. there are very extreme doubling issues that are discussed by BlueRidgeSilverhound. I could post more pics but I didn't post to prove that it is a DDO. I'm just asking for opinions on whether I should have it graded. The issue is...does anyone know if there IS a demand and the market value? That is MY question. Just thought some people here might know the answer. |

Same here, not seeing a match with the images shown on variety vista, via the link provided.

Well in order for us to give you the best answer, we would most likely want to see the doubling you say is an exact match with VV.
WE cannot see it on the images you posted.
I or one would not want to tell you to get it graded and have it come back as a common quarter.
Can you just post up a close up of 'Dollar'?

Dearborn, Thanks but my question is whether there is value in getting this graded. I absolutely know it is the DDO...the doubling is so distinct that I didn't think I'd have to show closeups. Look at the shadows of "in god we trust" or the abrasive imprint around the mint mark, or at the end of "dollar". |

Keep in mind, I pulled this within several months of circulation, while the "attributed" looks much more worn. All found WILL come from circulation....

I think the quarter I have being less worn than the attributed is confusing some...but my question is NOT whether or not I have a DDO. Nobody seems to know if the $50k ebay price, for the "discovery coin", is legit, or if there is a market. Not many are turning up, but one collector had THREE! I thought maybe some people here might be familiar with the coin and the value. So far, I am the most versed. If people don't know about the DDO, I don't think they will know the value. LOL |

@Crack.... Somebody w/ the same exact quarter DDO as yours, on ebay is asking $84.99 & is also accepting offers. Is your coin worth grading & worth $50k? No. |

even though you have the DDO, I would say no to having it slabbed. The cost would be too high for the most probable value of your coin. Comparing yours to the NGC discovery one that was graded at MS-65, there is co comparison. I doubt you would get even an AU grade for it, besides the NGC is actually labeled as the 'Discovery' and would pull a premium. Edited by Dearborn

I think you are misunderstanding the difference between "grading" and "attributing". You have to pay to have the overall condition of the coin graded and then a second fee to have your error or variety attributed. Further, not every variety gets attributed. Most of them don't, as PCGS will only attribute varieties listed in the Cherry Pickers Guides, for instance. I don't see this variety specifically listed on either the PCGS or NGC website, so they probably aren't attributing this variety at this time. Overall, I see a lot a contacts marks on the obverse so you'll probably get low AU grade and no DDO designation (even though it looks like you have the DDO) on the slab for your $50 fee. |
