Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6493 Posts	Posted 01/03/2024 01:38 am Original Title: Ruh Roh: Mystery Quarter, Md Or Dd? There was a lot going on in the weeks before Christmas. In between some images of a batch of coins from Texas, and the 1966 SMS DDO that I hunted down, I found these two pics. At first I thought they were from the forum, and I was analyzing someone else's post. But nope, that's the green felt that I use for CRH nickels, and definitely my little magnifier. Then I remembered that my dad had brought over a coffee can of coins that he found in his house, probably from his mom. Eisenhowers, Kennedy halves, SBA dollars, and some old quarters. All beat up, probably from the ACNJ casinos in the 1980s. I had packed up all the big coins carefully in paper towels and a plastic container. The quarters, I think I tossed in a change jar, but not before snapping these images. It would be nice if someone gave these letters the wave as Machine Doubling. I did not see this particular quarter anywhere on my nickel mat. It is probably from a 1965-1969 quarter somewhere in my change jar (which isn't that big), or possibly dad took the quarters back, in which case I assume it is lost. Hopefully I didn't toss back a keeper during the holiday chaos! MD? DDD? DDR? Edited by Brandmeister 01/03/2024 11:23 am Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6493 Posts	Posted 01/03/2024 10:01 am Ok, whew. =) When I looked up the doubling for 1965 quarters, the pattern on DDR-002 gave me some concern. http://www.varietyvista.com/09b%20W...5PDDR002.htm Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6493 Posts	Posted 01/03/2024 11:22 am Well, I fished it out of the change cup. Looks like it's a 1966 quarter. A diagnosis of Machine Doubling seems like the right call. Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8743 Posts	Posted 01/03/2024 6:53 pm If it makes you feel any better, I have issues with many of the clad listings. Much of what is listed looks like MD to me. I bought a couple hundred 60's proof dimes a year or so ago, and while looking at the listings, so many just looked like MD. I even found a nice twofer and had it not matched perfectly, I would have called it MD. Here is what I'm talking about.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6493 Posts	Posted 01/03/2024 7:56 pm I can't say I'm disappointed. I just wanted to be sure that I didn't toss a real DDR into the change cup. Aside from that tiny notch in the corner of the F, I would have to read the Wexler and VV listings to have any meaning for those dimes. Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 01/03/2024 8:26 pm Brand, the photos seem to be trough an analog micro. This it is the point. On analog micro photos, the sample must be perfect perpendicular if not distortions show which could not be true. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6493 Posts	Posted 01/04/2024 01:40 am It's a plastic clip-on magnifier for my iPad. Not sure if that counts as analog or digital. There can be considerable tilt compared to a real microscope, because I am maneuvering a big tablet over a rather small coin. Report this Post to the Staff
