I had so much luck with the last post of an error, I thought I would follow it up presto. This is a Yosemite Philadelphia quarter with what appears to be a doubled mountain peak. So I post it herein so folks can see it and form some ideas on it. It came with those extra letters that were called Machine Doubling in my previous post. Of interest is this pic of those extra letters.....times THREE, on one of these. .  . Copyright 2010JBCYTCLDDR1  |

I see the coin I posted here is being seen but, oddly, not commented on. That I think will change if I post full pics, so I will add some tomorrow. Thanks for looking! Hope you all continue to see these, even if you are remiss in posting. I have 50 posts soon, so trades are going to be available as soon as I get the go-ahead from the board folks running the forum. I think this new peak is a real error, a double, or something else, but will submit to a pro before getting my hopes up.

Here is a clash overlay for this coin in the series.  I can tell where the mark is on the location above the peak. Maybe this will help to see if it touches a clash area? |

Coop, there is no end to how good you are at this stuff. I will be fwding some to Billy tomorrow, and if you want, I can ask him to wave you some files or send quarter copies. The die clash is a plausible explanation, but this effect occurs all over the field on the reverse, above the mountain. I will e-mail you pics if you care, but I do believe this to be doubling, either machine or otherwise. This has me stumped, and moreover, the Machine Doubling I wrote off last week appears again, this time with the Y nowhere near where it should be for machining. Thanks so very much, and I do so appreciate a reply. Lots of interesting stuff in this series, and early on for folks noticing. |

Morgan's dad, Coop is one serious error evaluative czar. I have a series of these, representing a die progression. I have three more boxes to open, and wanted to post them last night, but it overwhelmed me, as there are some 20 shots. I may just post five representing all of the progression. I think this is an El Capitan Doubled Die, as the details lend themselves not to a die fill, but to die detail associated with the peak in another area of the coin. Conversely, it could well just be a die clash, or a fill, or a gouge, time will tell as you all fill in the details. I also ran up on a MDD on Hot Springs that I still think is something else.
I will post pics soon enough.

This is the same area where I've seen die problems on my Yosemite P, but it doesn't look quite the same. Why so many problems in the same area on El Capitan? (I have pics on a different thread)

Just me, where's the other thread with pics of DD ElCapitan?

.         Please forgive the sequential mash-up, it was just fun to get them all in this afternoon. Hope this helps with your examples. I seem to see a double or machine die letter (unrelated to the rest and just added in for fun and discussion) in the first one, then the rest are all iterations-in various forms- of the doubled mountain, which I guess is a filled die. Puzzling is the way it begins with a few marks, and then the fill sets in. Are the marks the cause, and is it a doubled die that morphs into a filled die when a chip of the die is ejected during the minting process, or just a filled die with some odd beginnings? Anyway, have fun looking. The boxes are 8-7 2010 through 8-15 2010 dated. The deep die gouge appears (twice) in the 8-13 box. Deepest filled die I have in my collection. Deepest I have seen, actually, but I am new, so you all have probably seen deeper. |

Hello folks.
I think have found something odd with this Yosemite Quarter. I have what looks like a bolder on the summit on my Philly's like you all. But I have noticed that in the Business strikes and Uncirculated variations. The Philly has a strange concave shape where the log in the foreground branches off. It is on the philly coins and not the Denver. Shouldn't both mints use the same dyes? I will try to figure out how to post a pic to this forum. This is my first time.

 Here is a scan to point out the area that I mentioned earlier. The image isn't one to see what I'm talking about. Just pointing out where to look. Every Philadelphia Yosemite that I have looked at under 40X magnification has what appears to have a triangular valley in the lake area behind the log. In the Denver Yosemite's the area is flat like the rest of the lake. Any idea's of what is going on. I see this variation in the uncirculated versions as well. I have yet to lay my eyes on the silver or clad proof. What do you all think? |
