tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 04/23/2023 2:42 pm Just put a new bulb in my photo lighting set up, as the bulb I used to use isn't being produced anymore. So kind of testing it out. For this one I don't know if it is the bulb or the set up itself but this is actually a pretty strong coin just in later die state. Looks kinda terrible in the photo. The varieties here are pretty minor, with a bit of an RPM somehow making it into the CherryPickers' Guide as FS-501, and a DDO that is pretty close to invisible. It also seems to be about the most common FS coin in the Washington series as I don't look at a lot of quarters and yet have had five of these cross my desk in the last two months or so. 1947-S/S Washington quarter - RPM-001, DDO-001 - FS-501 Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95985 Posts	Posted 04/23/2023 5:12 pm nice RPM, but I'm not seeing the DDO yet. (I'll keep staring at it until I do) Collecting since 1972.

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 04/23/2023 8:37 pm When I scoured the obverse for any DDO, it did look like some hub doubling below the TRU with a tiny notch on the T. I was thinking that was it, as didn't see anything else. But the coin is pretty late die stage so a mild class II could just be lost in the softness. Report this Post to the Staff
Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 04/24/2023 09:11 am Yea those and the 52S are incredibly common. The value isn't much higher than the normal coin for the year so I have not added one of these to my collection. One day. Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 04/24/2023 11:09 am Thanks for all the kind words! I am guessing one of the reasons these are so common is because they have almost no premium so folks just skip it. Report this Post to the Staff
