tm33040 New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 04/23/2024 4:33 pm I need help identifying if these are errors on my 1982 P Quarter. I got this coin in change today and was excited to see that it is in great condition. When I was examining it I noticed that there is an extra vine/branch under the branch on the reverse side. It extends across to the other side of the branch and its raised like a thin bump. At first I thought it belonged there until I started comparing the coin to another 1982 p quarter. Hopefully, this is a true fine! Which would make this a perfect birthday for me! As well, is this DDO & DDR error. The R under the branch has another R under it that is raised. which is the same for the few others in the pics. Any insight would be helpful to this newbie! Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6493 Posts	Posted 04/23/2024 5:21 pm Unless I am completely mistaken, that reverse seems to have a medium strength die clash. The outline of Washington's bust is upside down, mirrored, and indented underneath the eagle. What you see under the olive branches is the curved top of his head, and his nose is just below the left wing. The doubling on the lettering looks like Machine Doubling. I am not an expert on Washington quarters, so perhaps someone else can verify that. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95443 Posts	Posted 04/23/2024 5:22 pm Well, your doubling you see appears to be MD ( Machine Doubling) very common. But we may need better images of that 'extra vine'. if raised are you state, it could be a die dent or gouge. Hard to tell with the images you provided. Close ups are needed, and please, if you can use just one light coming in from an angle as to create highlights and shadows. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6493 Posts	Posted 04/23/2024 5:29 pm Well, there ya have it—John, Dearborn, and E&V know their stuff. It looks like you can buy a modern quarter die clash for $5-10. Not exactly grade it and slab it money. Still a very cool find though, you have a good eye! =) Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10034 Posts	Posted 04/23/2024 7:34 pm Grading coins is not what most people think it is. In short, the initial fee will be $200.00 and you will have a coin worth around face value to show. Whenever you think you have a doubled die, go to verietyvista.com and find a match. If it is not there then you have Machine Doubling or some sort of other non-collectable doubling (very common). Most odd looking coins are just post mint damage. A lot of people are mislead by online clickbait videos and tons of worthless ebay auctions wrongly being sold as rare error coins. If you want to find real error coins, you have to first know what real error coins are. Looking for random anomalies on coins and hoping they match up to something collectable will take you a lot more time, wasted effort, and disappointment repeatedly finding out you have nothing but post mint damage, useless Machine Doubling, Die Deterioration, or minor insignificant imperfections (etc.). Spend some initial time at places like error-ref.com, doubleddie.com, varietyvista.com, conecaonline.org, coppercoins.com etc. to find what actual and collectable coin errors look like. A good way to start is, for instance, separate a bunch of pennies by date. Go to varietyvista.com and, date by date, use the reference there to see what errors are known for that specific coin/mint mark. Look for those specific errors/varieties using the pictures provided. After doing this for awhile you will KNOW what an actual error looks like and not have to waste time on face value and damaged coins. :) How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
