New Member Has Washington Quarter Question
Woodwind
Posts: 486 ✭
Hi all. New member here posting for the first time. I've been looking at the message boards for a couple of months now and it looks so fun and educational I want to be a part of this too. 
I've learned a lot just reading these notes, including the whole ACG slab thing.
I live in Southern California and make most of my purchases at the Long Beach Coin Show. I collect US Type Coins, some modern world coins, and am looking to complete sets of Walking Halves, Buffalo Nickels, and Winged Liberty/Mercury Dimes.
My question on Washington Quarters is regarding the mint mark varieties on the 1964-D quarters. I was at a friend's house taking a look at the quarters his dad had put away and noticed that about half of the 64-D quarters had what appear to be repunched mint marks or possibly over mint marks. I haven't looked at them for a while, but I recall about four different varieties. If anyone could tell me more about them, or guide me to a source I would appreciate it.

Welcome to the forum! Can't help on your quarter question, but am curious in your choice of a screen name. Why woodwind? Do you play one? I play the saxophone and piano.
Hope this helps.
Fivaez/Stanton and also John Fienbaum has good books on em'.
Welcome again, Dave
The best place to at least read about the Washington RPM's would be at CONECA.

Welcome to the boards.
Got any proof 64 Kennedys? - Sorry, Russ I couldn't resist, plus I need one for my type set
No answer here on the quarter question, but you will find many here that will help. This is by far one of the most informative groups around.
Good Luck and I hope to run into you @ Long Beach. They are also several other small shows in and around LA throughout the year. PM me if your interested and I can give you details.

I don't know diddly about quarters but just wanted to welcome you to the forum. It's a great place to learn a lot. Good self-control on waiting a couple of months to join, I didn't make it a week! I'm sure you will enjoy your time here.

Always glad to add another to our ranks. Sorry I can't answer your question as I know next to nothing about Washington quarters. Hope you enjoy your time here.
