1943 Washington Quarter Double Die Obverse FS-103 Found in Junk Silver

DoubleJCoins

I was going through some of my Father's old scrap silver and happened to stumble upon this guy. At first glance something looked off. I looked it up on PCGS and sure enough its a match. What do you think it would grade at? My initial thoughts were somewhere around G4.

Nice find! G-4 founds about right.

Looks like a 4 to me too.

Nice one.... That's a heckuva doubled die, isn't it?

Dude! What a find, congrats. Yep, I would grade it a Good as well. Nice Variety.
Isn't it great that our fathers not only leave us with their wisdom, but things such as this too!

That's a toughie! Good04 sounds right. I cherried a Fine a while back.

Isnt this one of the rare ones in the series?

DoubleJCoins

@DCW I believe so, the population on this variety is pretty low

It's the rarest SILVER issue as far as the major doubled dies go. There's a couple of copper-nickel issues that are rarer.

Wow, I assumed this was a '43-S at first glance, the Philly DDO is a much rarer coin and one heck of a find in junk silver. Congrats on your good fortune!
