Possible 1965 quarter DD error
1 1

4 posts in this topic

I was hunting through my quarter tub today and found this 1965 quarter. I know there’s a DD error for this coin and was wondering if you all think this is it. I think I see a DD error in the “In God We Trust”

   Welcome to the NGC chat board.

   NGC VarietyPlus lists three doubled die obverse (DDO) varieties for 1965 Washington quarters, but from what I can see from your photos, this coin doesn't match any of them and for the most part appears to have shelf-like "strike" or "machine" doubling on the motto, not a doubled die. See  Washington Quarters (1932-1998) | VarietyPlus® | NGC (ngccoin.com).  It would be helpful if you would post clear, cropped photos of the entire obverse and reverse of the coin so that we can see all of the diagnostic points for the various varieties for a more definitive answer.

From what I can tell from the photos you provided of your coin, I only see the early stages of die erosion doubling which commands no premium in the marketplace. As of note to you, doubling (DDO/DDR) is not an error. It is a variety.

It doesn't match the only known 1965 25C DDO to have doubling of all the lettering, which is a DDO FS-101 variety from the link Sandon posted.  See the attached diagnostics image for that.

It doesn't seem to be hub doubling, but I may see some corner notching so you might want to look closely at the coin in-hand using the attached infographic on doubled dies and the following webpage with examples of corner notching for the 1965 25C ... http://varietyvista.com/09b WQ Vol 2/DDO Detail Pages/1965PDDO001.htm
