Roro57 Valued Member Canada 195 Posts	Posted 03/25/2025 12:30 pm I found this 2000 Virginia quarter that has either a die chip or doubling between Washington's ear and hairline. I have looked at other quarters and do not see this. What do you all think? Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94784 Posts	Posted 03/25/2025 1:50 pm Well, with the newer coins minted, the doubling usually happens nearer to the center. So I cannot disallow that this may be a doubled ear, but that said, it may be MD, but I'm not seeing any reduced device elements. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10478 Posts	Posted 03/26/2025 12:05 am If not considered a doubled ear then maybe some type of DDO or a well placed die chip.....start researching. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6455 Posts	Posted 03/26/2025 12:46 am It doesn't match the only DDO listed on Wexler. However, that's the area where a doubled die would occur on those quarters. https://doubleddie.com/186406.html Could also be a die clash, as mentioned. There is an odd cut through his ponytail near the base, and a bit of something under his eye. Report this Post to the Staff
