So, I think I found a 1979 double die quarter. Here’s the story:
I was working on cleaning my house, when I found some coins on my moms dresser. I asked my mother to look at them after seeing 2 Lincoln Commemoratives in the pile of 5 coins. She said yes, and I looked at them.
Keep in mind, she is visually impaired. There is no way for her to know that these coins were commemoratives and a possible double die.
While looking at the lone quarter, I noticed what looked like doubling on the 1 in 1979.
Pictures WITHOUT a magnifier.
It looks very obvious, you can see it with the naked eye. I even looked at it under a microscope with a flashlight shining on it. The real 1 and the suspected double are both casting a shadow. However, I’m going to have a professional at a coin shop look at it and try to confirm it.
Until I get it confirmed or proved false, what do you guys think?
