Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 03/06/2025 6:07 pm This is the best I can do for images today. When I purchased the coin I was thinking it was struck through a dropped filling but it is definitely raised. I can do better with the images tomorrow. The area I am referring to is north of the E in WE. What do you think? https://www.ebay.com/itm/356594812399 Edited by Willburton 03/06/2025 6:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8730 Posts	Posted 03/06/2025 7:05 pm Quarters are your thing and I'm out of my comfort zone but am leaning towards a die gouge. It is odd how it follows the top of the E though, almost reminds me of a type 2 counter clash but find that unreasonable with no other areas showing this. There are some interesting concentrical die scratches towards the center of the reverse. Look forward to you getting it in your hands for better pics. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 03/06/2025 7:11 pm Thanks makecents. I was thinking of some kind of Die Deterioration because it's definitely not an early die state. I have the coin in hand. It could be any of the above. I'll work on some better pictures.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6460 Posts	Posted 03/06/2025 7:52 pm Definitely unusual. On many of these obscure doubled dies, I often wonder how the hub touched just that one specific spot on the die without touching any adjacent areas. Cool find, well done. =) Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5238 Posts	Posted 03/06/2025 8:08 pm Could be but maybe a die dent? Most definitely an interesting coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4395 Posts	Posted 03/06/2025 8:32 pm Very interesting! I'd like to see more doubling there to be certain this is a DDO, but this kind of doubling isn't unprecedented on 1943 quarters. See 1943 25¢ WDDO-016 and 1943-S 25¢ WDDO-008.

Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 03/06/2025 8:47 pm Thanks folks. Also, Tanman my exact thought on the 43s. I don't have the best picture capabilities but may eventually send it your way. The only other doubling I notice is inside the upper loop of the E. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 03/06/2025 8:51 pm I see lots of radial flow lines from a very worn out die - so I'll go with DDD as well. Collecting since 1972.
