2020 Washington Quarter DDO?

[jcuve]

It looks like die wear to me. Modern doubling would show interior elements thicker getting less so toward the rims. Die wear tends to be stronger toward the rims. There may be lighting feedback causing the appearance of notching.

NOTE: And I am not prepared to open attributions on contemporary quarters until we have that section of the new website built and up.

Ok thanks, but may I ask a few questions. I know that the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco mints uses the "single squeeze" die hubbing. Do you know if the West Point mint uses the same method or do the still use the "multi squeeze" (old method) because of them producing the higher end coins such as silver, gold, platinum, etc. And commemorative coins because the old method was known to produce sharper details and less chances of doubling because the old method "locked" the master dies into place. I know that modern doubling is mainly in the center of coins because of the "single squeeze" die hubbing. I agree that if this would be a doubled die it would have to been down with the "multi squeeze" (old method).

My other question would be if this was die wear would it produce "round" sides as shown in the photos I posted from light shining horizontal to the coin. And if it was light feedback making the appearance of notches, why does it appear from multi angles. The photo below will show notches of different letter from different angles of light. And "R" of AMERICA shows the rounded 2nd image as you referred to in your sticky about doubling.

Sorry but I'm just trying to get answers and since you what you are talking about im hoping you can explain it to me

Between what is in our last post and your private message to me where you said "I just want answers," I need you to go to FOURM PROTCOLS: HERE

Go to C) "Do Not" and reads items 1-3

I will re-read this thread.

I apologize, when I said "I just want answers" I wasn't trying to be demanding. I'm not trying to argue with you. I'm just trying to understand your analysis on my coin is all. I'm truly am sorry for coming off so roughly.

On this 2019 DDO here. The doubling and extra thickness are strongest in IN GOD TRU, with decreased amounts in WE ST. There is also some in AMERICA and RTY of LIBERTY. Those are center parts of the design, except the tipping toward AMERICA. This 2019 DDO here is similar to the other.

I am not detecting strong extra thickness on your coin, that worries me. The apparent notches, could be lighting feedback - I have seen this, those LED lights cause the appearance of notches that are not there.

Attributions on quarters need to stay closed for at least a little while longer. I need Lincolns and Jeffersons up and open with quarters in site first before I open them. We can look at this for you at that time.

Thank you for taking a 2nd look at this thread. I apologize for the trouble that I have caused.

This is also a LDS/VLDS 2019-P 25c NMI DDO-001. The purple arrows show die wear, the green arrows the progressive doubling - strongest toward the center. (I wasn't sure I had my own, photos, so I double checked.)

Thank you for the photos. I see what you are saying on extra thickness.

[jcuve]

I am not saying it is absolutely not a DDO, I am just not sure and things worry me from the photos. We can do an in hand later.
