CONECA focuses on many error and variety specialties, including doubled dies, Repunched mintmarks, multiple errors, clips, double strikes, off-metals and off-centers—just to name a few. In addition to its website, CONECA publishes an educational journal, The Errorscope, which is printed and mailed to members bimonthly. CONECA offers a lending library, examination, listing and attribution services; it holds annual meetings at major conventions (referred to as Errorama) around the country.

    need help with 1964 Washington 25C reverse

    Happy holidays, this 1964 Washington 25C seems to be in pretty good shape. I estimate MS 63 or so. The reverse has some anomalies in all reverse lettering and both wings More on the right observed wing. It almost looks like it was re-stamped and cut at a different angle. I went through cherry pickers and all the basic websites and possibly match on FS 804 or 802Any help would be greatly appreciated. There is also a dye crack through the Eagles head.
    Wish you all the best.

      In my opinion, I personally am not a fan of "extra thickness" doubled dies. It is subjective more than other things in this Hobby. It's difficult to distinguish what is "normal" and what is not. The only true way to tell is to have a nice BU example that represents that "normal coin for that year". Then you can see if there is any additional thickness worth mentioning.

      You should also take into consideration any wear and tear, circulation damage or other situations IF the coin(s) were circulated.

      Places like
      Https://conecaonline.info
      Http://varietyvista.com
      Doubleddie.com

      Those websites give good descriptions on where they see doubling occurring on known good examples. It's important to note where the doubling occurs, and look at your coin to see if it is a near exact match. The "look" can change a tad, since the working dies do age due to wear and tear, but the location of the doubling should stay the same.

      Doubled dies are working dies that received more than one impression of an image onto a working die. The spread is usually wide enough to notice a difference. The working dies have these impressions sunk into them. They are made of hard steel. So when the working dies squeeze that blank into a coin, what is sunk into the working die, is now raised on the coin.

      Wait a bit, others should chime in and offer their opinions as well.

        Extra thickness double die?? Hmmm Interesting, I don’t believe I’ve encountered one, but if I did, I probably wouldn’t have known it anyway.. At least I have a possibility now. The coins are uncirculated. Thanks Gary!
