I have a 1942-D Wash. that has doubling in IGWT. Very heavy dbl. in "O" & "D", slightly in "W" & "U". Anyone have a Breen classification for this? Any help is appreciated...Thanks in advance.image

The "A" in dollar is filled in in the middle.

No...I can't supply pics.image

    Could be Breen 4315. If so, you have a keeper!

    Check the Coneca website at the this link.

    Since you are unable to take pix of the coin just send it to me and I'll research it and return it with my findings. Put it in a cardboard flip with some sort of secret mark on it somewhere if you have any doubts. I've done this for other people before.

    How would I find out if it is a "Breen 4315?" Is there a website? I checked Coneca as Bikingnut suggested and it doesn't make reference to a "Breen 4315." HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLP!image

    No problem. Look carefully, and note all the die cracks and where they are, direction they run, where they start and end. Is there an rpm? If there are none at all, that's helpful to know also. Check the obverse doubling again, make sure you've noted whether it occurs on any letters of LIBERTY. Check the initials. We might be able to get it from the markers. BTW, what grade do you think it is? Thanks.

    There are several doubled die obverses on 1942-D quarters. One of them is a huge Class I DDO and is listed in the CPG and several other places, but that doesn't sound like what yo uhave. I know of another that just shows south-east of the letters in the right side of IGWT, which sounds a lot like what you describe. I'll try to remember to check my book tonite to attribute it for you.

    what grade do you think it is


    Screams 64...EASY. However, I'm not savvy in grading, especially quarters. I learned that the hard way. I'll inevitably send it to my friend Warren (a.k.a. BOOM) for further assessment.

    D/C on the reverse on the eagles (our left) wingruns from the "Q" in Quarter to the edge of the wing

    (our right) wing is doubled at the edge from top to bottom

    MM is RPM or doubled if that's what you'd call it.

    Hi Joe;

    It's more to the North East than it is North as the pics render in the attachment you posted.image

    Well, as I'm sure you saw on the CONECA site, ddo-2 is the only one that has an rpm as one of the markers. With the wing crack, and if it has a crack at the base (just above the date) of the bust, could be ddo-2.
