1962 WASHINGTON QUARTER DDO FS-101?

[rbroederer]

I am looking at a nice 1962 Washington Quarter which appears to be a FS-25-1960-101. It appears to have some attributes of the Stage B & C pictures and descriptions on VV. The subject coin has the following die markers: 1 A die crack between 'I' & 'N' in 'IGWT', 2 The die crack in the bust from '9' in date to the beginning of the ribbon. 3 A die crack on the reverse right wing from the first 'S' in STATES to between the two leaves 90 degrees above the 'Q' in Quarter. The subject coin also has a die crack from the forehead to near the back of the head not mentioned. Thoughts or comments?

It's not DDO-001 - you can tell from the bottom of the N from IN. Check DDO-006 - that looks like a closer match.

Hello Jason, Thanks for the heads up. I can confirm the following Die Markers for DDO-006:

1. Die break between full IN of IN
2. Die chip between OD of GOD
3. Die chip between RU of TRUST
4. Die break below 6 and 2 of date
5. Die crack on forehead and in hair
6. Die crack across bust
7. Die crack down eagle's Right wing
8. Die crack from US of PLURIBUS to wing
9. Die crack across left wreath
10. Die crack across right wreath

Hello Jason, I have also prepared several pics comparing known examples of FS-25-1962-101 from PCGS.com with the subject coin. The subject coin is the third one from the top and golden colored in all three pics.I believe these pics confirm your finding that the subject coin is not FS-25-1962-101. The first pic is of IGWT is not similar. The second pic is '62' in the date and again is not similar. Pic 3 is the die crack on the right wing and the position of the crack on the subject coin is not similar. Thoughts or comments?

I think DDO-006 is the correct match

UPDATE - The coin was sent back in to ANACS and the coin was reholdered correctly as DDO-006 and not FS-101 which it was originally attributed. Cheers, Bruce.
