Cherry pick of Gorgeous George + 2

joeykoins

Hi guys,
This cherry can be one of my best? Yes, it's one of the well known Washington varieties of the DDO 1943p.
It may not be the Biggie, but It has to be close to it.
I did check Variety Vista. It seems to be the FS-015?
What do you guys say.
Thanks
Sorry, many photos.

Nice catch

joeykoins

Thx. guys.
Funny? It seems the "In God We trust" has the same traits of the Big One but the word, "Liberty" appears different?

The coin is in great condition, as well?

Nice DDO!

Try checking yours against DDO-009 - that looks like a match to me:

for sure not the big one, much more doubling on all the legend devices. date, lib, motto

i thought you had a MONSTER pick when i first checked it out and saw the price guide at pcgs is a little misleading until you + to open the varieties they attribute and show the big one is the one with the huge value.

I see more of this one:

@OAKSTAR The Cherrypicker's Guide lists only a subset of known doubled die varieties.

In the case of 1943 quarters, there are 49 DDO's listed for this date on VarietyVista:

Study the DDO-009 and you will find it is an exact match for Joey's coin. Study the FS-103 and you will find multiple differences that prevent it from being a match.

What grade would someone guess this at?

I'll do that. Thanks very much.

Yeah buddy, you might be correct?
Esp. In the "L and I" in Liberty, as well as, in the 1 and 9.
Thx. All of you.
I'm taking the Georgie to my dealer friend tomorrow. He's a so called expert in varieties. After all, he taught me everything I know about the game. Plus, his name is in the 6th Edition CPG, and more books! Joe Ridzy.
I'll get a better idea, manana.
Thanks guys.

FYI, the partial missing doubling on the first "T" in "TRUST" is a great marker for the DDO-009. On the right side, there is full doubling under the bar of the "T" but it is missing on the left side.

Thanks, boy what a keen eye, mman.
If my variety were to be a AU 58. Any hunch on a value?

No, not off hand. You could search sold listings and see if any have sold attributed as DDO-009 by ANACS, or as 1943 DDO VP-004 25c by NGC (same variety, they just use their own number). You could also search for PCGS-certified 1943 quarters with the "minor doubled die" designation.

In any case, I'd probably hold onto it and hope it gets listed in a future edition of Cherrypicker's Guide, as it would likely have increased value, in that event. In general, Washington quarter varieties that are not in CPG tend not to sell for as much, just because fewer people are aware of them.

Awesome info

Thank you, very much. Very cool graphics, dude.

joeykoins

Oh, I failed to mention.

Along with the interesting '43 DDO. I also cherry picked, at the same time, 2 more Washington Quarters!
One is another DDO 1943 and a toned 1944p, no dd.
Here they are;

Toned 1944

1943 DDO

not so pronounced as my first one.

Maywood

If you look at enough 1943 Quarters for the big DDO you come to realize that almost every one has some sort of doubling on the obverse. I think the best course is to figure out which of the varieties has value and memorize those key diagnostics, or else you'll drive yourself crazy --- or to the corner bar.

joeykoins

Well, I visited my dealer friend. He came up with more clearer and joyful answers.
Esp. after analyzing my quarter more under the microscope, so to speak.
His Dynoscope, is much better than my Walmart special. Lol
Here are the new pics. Esp concerning the second "T" in trust.
I still think my quarter with it's Motto, is so pronounced, way more than close to the 49 others?

Joe sez, " mine could be a later stage, stage B?" Not shown in Variety Vista's list.

@joeykoins... Nice DDO finds.... Some winter day I will have to check my silver Washington quarters for varieties. So much fun cherry picking my own collection. Cheers, RickO
