Three Washington quarters with what look, to me, like errors...
Tell me what im looking at, please!
First is a 1961 D (rpm, and ddo?)
Next are two different 1958 d's that have the exact same struck through 9(?) On both, and both look like they've got rpms, as well, but one looks like a d/d, and the other... REALLY looks like a d/s... let me know what you guys think...

Make sure that staple doesn’t scratch the coin then it doesn’t matter if it is an error.

Flatten those staples down!
No idea on RPMs or DDs, but the "struck through"....
Visualize what happens with a struck through error - a foreign object gets between the planchet and dies and is stuck into the coin (it usually falls or wipes away and doe snot stay in place). So the error would be an indentation into the coin. Also, a struck through is a unique occurance, so I would not expect to find two identical.
In the case of your quarters, this lines appear to me to be raised. So, they would have to be the result of a void in the die - either a die crack (but I don't see it extend to the edge) or a scratch/gouge.
P.S. - on the suspected DDs, make sure to educate yourself on machine/mechanical doubling in order to properly diagnose.
Here's a link to the PCGS coin facts page on the 1961-D rpm

The coins exhibit machine doubling...Cheers, RickO
