angellionel Valued Member United States 191 Posts	Posted 10/01/2025 12:37 pm Hello everyone! I have a Barber quarter from 1898-S that I believe has a doubled die reverse, which is particularly noticeable in the words "Quarter Dollar." Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find much information about this DDR, aside from a brief mention in a survey on barbercoins.org. If anyone has insights or additional information to share, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

angellionel Valued Member United States 191 Posts	Posted 10/01/2025 2:33 pm Thanks, Marv. You may be right. However, I want to be certain, as the website I mentioned in my original post lists it as a DDR and includes a photo. The photo suggests they believe it to be a DDR, but that information could also be incorrect. Report this Post to the Staff

smat45 Pillar of the Community United States 2333 Posts	Posted 10/02/2025 4:52 pm I love me some Barber quarters... 5 to go to complete my rag tag bunch (believe it or not I have the holy trinity already). If I remember correctly...the reference to the DDR survey was for the 98-S Dollar? It's been a while since I looked there, and I could be completely wrong...new computer and lost a bunch of references...? Thanks for posting and I look fwd to what other Barber knuckleheads think. smat Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6454 Posts	Posted 10/02/2025 5:13 pm When I look at the coins that Wexler has listed as Barber quarter doubled dies, they are much stronger traditional split serifs. I agree that this looks like Machine Doubling. https://doubleddie.com/2367737.html Report this Post to the Staff

Thanks for posting - unfortunately it really doesn't confirm anything. Does anybody know if there was any "Longacre Doubling" on Barber coinage? https://www.error-ref.com/longacre-s-doubling/ Report this Post to the Staff
