WC halves are fully equal to Iowa, S.Carolina, and BTW as the ugliest pieces of metal ever struck by the US Mint. All were treated with numismatic contempt when produced and finding just one coin largely free of marks is an accomplishment.

That's funny I also thought it was the ugly duckling of coins. It has to be the most writing on a coin I have ever seen and yes they are always marked up or toned out ,but this one is really clean

This is how I keep track of my Quarters, it just so happens that the Ice cube tray has 5 cubes per row and each Park Quarter had 5 coins per year. Except 2021 only had 2 so it is easy to put aside the nice BS coins as I find them for books

Welcome, what we call a spoon coin or a dryer coin, spoon a quarter around the edges to make a ring. Mostly done with silver quarters. Or tumbled around in a dryer for a bit will do stuff like that also.

Welcome

Well one reason could be that the NGC price guide is out of date on most of there coin listings ? or so the list under the coin to the left says Updated ,there would be a big price difference between a 2017 NGC and a 2021PCGS and that price is like the high end price for a coin.

The first year and it is like brand new, real nice Bill

There is always snot on the steps in the wintertime.

I want you to write a song titled this and post it on the forum for all to hear!!!!!

LoL ,The Double Die Blues, In the Key of A

I am not saying it is a DD that was just the title... I wright music and the title sounded so good (Is it Old eyes or Double Dies)  I am not looking and any of the edges of the devices that is reflection I was looking at the lines in the centers they are not typical looking Mechanical Doubling that is why I posted it , but it I guess it is just a different variation of the same old thing.

Hello JP.  There are a few 2018 LSC known doubled dies but I don't believe yours is consistent with them.  All of the known 2018 DDO's are a form of class 9 doubling and this type of doubling is very obvious.  The devices (in this case it would be the year, 2018) are very prominent in their size and distortion and LIBERTY should be affected too.  I believe I see die deterioration doubling on the 8 of the date. There is a form of useless doubling calling Ejection Doubling which I feel like this is what I may be seeing on the O of GOD.  

Here is the Liberty it has lines also, not as pronounced as the top words

Me too JP. I only know a little but I believe mechanical doubling has flat edges more like a step (sorry more coffee and words will come). The more experienced will clarify soon. Very cool 🤓🙀

Yes these lines are rounded and continues not stepped like when the die jumps, So are they in the die itself that is the question ?? 

You all know me by now and I would not put this up but I see a different type of doubling here than normal Mechanical Doubling. See how the line is rounded not flat look at the  O in God it starts out on the outside left and circles into the center back where it started. You can see it best on the rounded letters and numbers but it is on all of them. Is this more like  Hub Doubling

I did not find a listing for this in Vista. Let me know what you guys think.

It would have full steps also if it was not for that one nick by the clash
