Did I just cherry pick my own collection?

I realize some of the damage is PMD but is all of it. Or is it RPM as well? My guess is PMD, when noticing the scratch marks on both levels. But when in doubt ask the pros :)

    It does look like PMD where the MM has been moved/cut somehow and looks like steps. That bulge... interesting.

    I don’t see any matches for known RPMs but have you tried looking for the diagnostics. Links for Variety Vista and Wexler’s.

    There's the hit on the D and the rest is machine doubling.

    Machine doubling. VERY common on 50's and 60's Washington quarters, and often only visible on the MM.

    I can see why you ask about it.... I do believe it is PMD... Hit on the upper and lower part...might have been just one hit that did both...but the position, and incomplete crease on the lower portion is strange. Cheers, RickO

    Like Erwindoc said the striations must be the giveaway. Interestingly, they match perfectly. So whatever hit it, hit it twice. I'm thinking when she kicked him out of her apartment, the collector threw his collection in the back of his Gremlin and sped off forgetting how big those damn speed bumps were.

    @Hemispherical . I did check the cpg to no avail but I'm at work now and will check those links later, thanks!

    @CoinscratchFever

    Take a look at the R below the MM. Looks like it took a hit and might be related to the MM.

    The “Gremlin” comment brought a chuckle!

    Not mine.

    :D

    Agree.

    @CoinscratchFever Don't spend too much more time other than to learn a little more. As mentioned it is very common for these to have machine doubled mint marks. That is what you have.

    @Hemispherical . Those cars were fast just as stock. But, yea I can see the YN pissed off with a cig hanging outta his mouth grinding gears just trying to leave as fast as possible. Then getting airborn over that speed bump while The Doors blasting People are Strange :D
