I'm only home a couple days so not much time to post things, but this one is really nice and tough to find. In fact, I didn't find but a friend did and he let me have a go at it. I realize it's doubling on just one letter, but it's so wide I would have liked to see it show up the CherryPickers Guide, although it didn't. Bonus feature is that it is an unlisted Spike Head in this die stage. And the bonus-bonus feature is that this likely makes it an as of now unlisted Stage C for VarietyVista. Sometime I may get things done to get it listed but time is too short right now. 1934 Washington quarter doubled die - DDO-011     |

Wow! That seems truly odd. I don't think I've ever seen that far of a shift on a Doubled Die. Wouldn't you love it if it were as strong and bold as the 1955 Lincon cent with this great of a shift on a Washington quarter?! Hey... I can dream can't I? ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Big Congrats ! It's interesting that the two widest DD spreads that I know of , happened in the same year and were both very limited. The other is 1934 FS-101 cent  |

Very nice and a new stage too! At first glance, my first thoughts would have been a clash.

Perhaps the hub came in at a relatively steep angle relative to the die, allowing a point near the rims to touch first. There are some other examples of very misaligned hubbings where the operator seems to have caught the problem as it was just starting. It's a neat DDO and a beautiful silver coin. =) |

Thanks all and happy to share some pics! Really is an interesting and odd doubled die. And easy to forget to glance up there on those coins to check for it, but by posting I hope a few others might learn about it and perhaps find more of them. Surely there is an EDS out there waiting to be found.

Interesting find TB and observation Stoneman.
