I looked through about $35 worth of quarters this morning - before my wife went to the laundromat (blanket cleaning). Saw four of these Washington crossing the Delaware, none with die chips. Cheers, RickO

Kinda cool...it was instantly noticable when it came out of the roll...
MAD MAD, both sides misaligned
Towards 10 oclock on the obverse, towards 1 oclock on the reverse.
Nice, with that chip oh his head, to boot!
Awesome thanks! Another example of why it's great to have other eyes checking things out lol.
I didn't notice and tossed it in the acetone.
Just took it out...

I seem to do MUCH better with small batches.
Box of quarters, dud. Box of nickels, dud.
Just came home with all this and another box of quarters.
Started turning over rolls in the box...2nd roll I turned over, "GALLOPING GERTIE" ender from the QuarterMaster.
I have a feeling this will be a fun box

Just love it when these shiny little gems pop out of that dingy old cellophane pack. More on the way later this week but in the meantime here are a few of the latest candidates looking for a 67+ spot in my new set.
I’ll send a mass picture of some I found today in change I’ve had for years sitting. Will try to get them sent before work if not later tonight and I’d appreciate any feedback thanks guys
Holy Carmen Miranda Washington!
That's impressive lol

no moolah? from that group. raw deal. i went into it with such high hopes...
Well this 2nd box went MUCH better!
Fairly epic I'm gonna have to say
A couple of W's...and... 2 fun retained debris struck throughs in the SAME roll!!! Two! In the same roll!!
And more...
The struck throughs are getting their own thread in a just a bit, with a bunch of close ups
Denail 'S' - Mintage 1.4 million
Anyone know details? Exactly the size of a quarter, twice as thick
Wonderfully unusual and beautiful in-hand
A couple of W's
Do you know the reference?
I honestly thought it was a parking lot coin at first...
There's impregnated fine wires, clear plastic or glass blobs, woven white plastic fibers...
A few coin later in the same roll!!!
Again fine wires (not as fine) and very hard plastic or glass or maybe ceramic impregnated.
Made me think of a light bulb as soon as I saw it...

Ok, so I took another plunge and purchased 7 rolls of Maya Anjelou quarter 2022-P rolls from 3 different eBay sellers, from 3 different places to search for DDR's and other errors..
3 rolls- from Rockville Center, NY - Nothing in these 3 rolls
2 rolls- from Marietta Ga. - Nothing in these 2 rolls
2 rolls- from la Grange, KY-
Seven VDDR-002's
thanks for posting. pretty sure i tossed back into the wild a few of those pre-discovery as they looked like MD to me. ugh
BUT since you posted those i went to look at the V V page and saw there are now 3 and that 3rd one has a LARGE spread! one to keep an eye out for, for sure!
i SHOULD know by now that just about anything that looks like doubling on modern coins near the center of the rev especially will most likely be a ddr/tdr etc.
i did find a couple coins, lesser than your struck through debris but i am kinda on the fence about them and thought about acetoning them but if they are legit struck through debris, then acetone will actually hurt them but they also, kinda including yours, REALLY look like something that got on the coins post-mint BUT the one you posted with that big glob ALSO has some nice struck through areas from center to k3 which gives some legitimacy to that crud being from the mint!
would be interesting to see if pcgs/ngc would call it struck-through or not.

I haven't run across VDDR-003 yet. All depends on where they were distributed, which is why I order from different places in the country. I have 5 more Maya P rolls coming from Florida.
I have found 22 of the VDDR-001's in my local coin roll searches, and one I found in change after cashing a slot machine voucher at my local casino (Wind Creek, Bethlehem, Pa.) I believe that a lot of the VDDR-001's were distributed in my area in NE Pa. I am fortunate to be able to get quarters to search in abundance at the current time.

I'm going to post the two possible struck throughs in their own thread...get feedback from the smarter than I group
I could use another good bashing after my knife cut nickel "die break" post lol
I'm leaning towards authentic on both of the retained debris strike-throughs after looking at them more intensely.

you weren't the first nor will you be the last and i have seen a vam discovery that fooled a few enough to make to the discovery stage only to be debunked shortly thereafter. so it happens. the good thing is i doubt it'll ever fake you out again. being a person with a few dozens discoveries, i can tell you, i've chased a lot of dragons/ghosts myself.
Remember your first....................
Here is mine!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been looking for my first "W" mint mark. I do not buy a lot of rolls to search but I was a the bank today and grabbed 2 rolls of each, Quarter, Dimes, Nickels and pennies. Found these in the rolls. The pennies must have been wrapped from a customer as they contained several from the 1960's and a few damaged ones.
The "W" count has started.

A while back I accidentally cherrypicked a pawn shop while buying around 8 1959 BU Lincolns for $3 each. Not knowing what they were I left a few there. Three of them are the DDO and I had one graded (TV Shown) and it just came back MS65 DDO PG. $300.00
Today, I called them and they still had 3 left, almost a year later...
Here they are and 2 are DDO for a total of five.
i'm confused. i see the TV and it is plain as day thick date fs-101 ddo but the one you posted at the bottom of the pic above isn't the 101 and the 104 isn't noticeably doubled at the date but liberty.

I could be wrong and there seems to be varying thickness on the ones. I’ll need to check Vv for diagnostics.

You’re right Lance (thanks for noticing) it turns out that I have only two of the 101 and at least one of the 103.
Here are the two 101s and of course the raw one will be on the next order to help it into the black.
@Coinscratch said: @kurisu Check out the luster on this box. Now, if I can just find one with a silky strike and no hits or spots
This is really tedious work.
I've found you can make pretty quick work of them if you have them under a bright light source and are looking downard at his portrait.
There is ALWAYS wear on his hair, forhead, cheek, and very bottom of the bust by the rim.
BUT!....If you look at our host's higher grade images these often appear to be slightly worn but it's the extreme tippy top of the strike not quite getting there
Similar but different with the shield side...

alright. i was looking forward to your verification and hopefully saved you some unnecessary subs. i do see what you see though as the date IS thicker than the one posted above it.

you know, i'm glad you all are talking about this as i was looking through some cents several weeks back and i noticed that same thing, that the high points REALLY looked like they had been kinda scraping up against other coins on ALL of the high points and i put many of the coins back and just ignored any of the others that had a similar look as upon CLOOOOSE inspection, those marks just looked so much like scrapes/scratches but i wouldn't consider myself AS sharp on the modern stuff as much as the classic. i didn't think to go check some CF high-grade images.
it is SO coincidental you are posting images of the same thing i wonder if there is something else going on or if it is just some slight weakness in the strike like you mention. kinda wish i had a couple examples to scrutinize now.
