mrwisker Pillar of the Community United States 581 Posts	Posted 07/28/2009 1:29 pm I'm just looking for information an different die varieties and errors on the State Quarters.(maybe other quarters) I have a couple hundred of them, and wanted to search them out a bit better before cashing them in. There is a lot of detail on the backs of some of them and knowing where to look would be nice If there is a site or thread...point me in the right direction Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 07/28/2009 11:19 pm The best thing to do is learn what the normal designs look like and search the coins for anything out of the ordinary. I would venture to guess there are still a lot of doubled dies that remain unreported. A list of what's known would probably have you missing more than would find otherwise.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/29/2009 2:00 pm Agreed. I don't know how many times I have heard people say "Gosh that's a neet error. I wish I could discover something like that" and then they proceed to look through their coins only checking for what has already been reported. If there is a Wide AM 1997 cent out there, you will never discover it just looking for Wide AM's on 98, 99, and 2000 cents. If there are no doubled dies reported on the State Quarter you are looking at, don't toss it aside, look it over carefully you might be the person to discover one. But in order to do so, like Coppercoins said you have to KNOW what normal coins look like, and understand the minting process so you will know if what you are seeing on a coin is from the minting process or just a form of damage. And if your first discoveries get "shot down" don't get discouraged. The mint does an extremely good job of producing an error free product. You are much more likely to find a damaged coin than an error coin. Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 07/29/2009 10:36 pm It's impossible to list them all here. There are many "doubled ear" obverses. These are doubled dies and are not just machine doubled. Not in any particular order, you have the: High leaf , low leaf varieties on the Denver Mint, Wisconsin quarters Minnesota "extra trees" varieties (I think there are better than 120 different ones. There are some Oregon quarters with extra tree limbs. There are doubled dies on the New Mexico quarters that have to do with the center of the design on the reverse. Washington D.C quarters: Duke Ellington has extra fingers on his hand or extra keys on the piano. Both are doubled dies. As far as errors.... Utah quarters are known to have Cuds to the right or left side where the locomotives are closest to the edges. And on and on.... I hope this gives you a few places to start.
