I started going through all the washies again, this time looking for a Type C.
Around 1/4 of the way through and I found one more Type B and this one. What is it,, G 8?
I don't think I can put it back with the 90%; is there any value left in it?

I agree with both halves of this statement, the only ones I've ever seen have been in even lower grade. Excellent find.

Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
After viewing your post & your coin, I just had to go look at my 37's... & to my surprise I found one just like it... :-)
All the doubling is the same... & at the same places... the grade of coin is about the same to... I just am glad I found one!!
Wish I had access to take a picture... sorry

Yes indeed! Welcome abroad! I, for one, expect and predict many more posts.
Oh, and by the way - nice find!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome... :-)
I am here because of a few friends - ProofArtworkonCircs & Lee (Thanks guys!!)
Just for the record... I like collecting all kind of coins, right now I like Ike's & the type B Washington Quarters. They are all under priced & neglected. Those who have them will be glad they do...
shasta (post #2) lol
....great find! and i have to give you credit for the close exam you gave a coin with such wear! i'm sure there are
a LOT of collectors that wouldn't take such a close look at a coin the way you did, great observation! i'm glad it was a
bonus view for you!
Even the scarcest, most desirable Washington silver doubled dies can be had for reasonable prices in the lower grade ranges. Your coin would be a good start in trying to assemble a set of the mainstream silver doubled dies. For some reason, most of the major copper-nickel doubled dies are MUCH tougher.

I've always suspected that they are out there and no one's looking. Even I haven't
always been diligent about checking for DDR's. I think I've seen an example of nearly
every die pair of clad quarters from 1985 and earlier but with moderns that pretty much
means just the obverse since they usually get changed at the same time.
Of course if they are actually very scarce as their numbers suggest then these would
be ones I've missed.
I mentioned this before but ironically I spent a '72-D DDR (could have been '71-D) way
back in 1972 before I started collecting clad quarters. So it was probably released in
this area. (NW IN)
Cladking-I'm familiar with the 1971-D DDR 1-R-V but have never been able to verify, nor have I ever heard of anyone who has seen a strong '72-D DDR of any kind, so the coin you speak of was almost certainly the '71-D.
<< <i>I've looked at literally thousands of clad quarters from 1965 thru 1976-D. I cherried 25 or so of the 1967 SMS DDO 2-O-I but very few of any of the others. I did find an AU 1968-D DDR 1-R-I at a show eight years ago and also the discovery piece for the 1970-D DDO 2-O-I in 1998. The 1968-D was a late die state coin, which makes me wonder where the rest are. I've also found a few of the clad proof doubled dies-1968-S DDO and 1969-S DDO, but not much else. I've been much luckier with the silver d dies, having cherried nearly all of those, many in Mint State or near MS.

Koynekwest... that 67 SMS DDO 2-O-l you spoke of can you explain what the coin looks like... or do you have any pictures.
I have 2 rolls stuck away... & would like to check them out but need to know what to look for... lol Thanks
By the way... went thru 3 rolls of the 72-D... looking for B's... no luck!!

The pick up point I use is LIBERTY. There is a moderate but very distinct CCW spread. The notching at the corners of the letters is easy to see. Some people prefer to use IN GOD WE TRUST to check for the variety-the multiple hubbing can be seen there as well. The variety comes in two die stages-Die Stage A that shows no additional machine doubling and Die Stage B that shows this machine doubling in addition to the multiple hubbing. Die Stage A is much the scarcer and more desirable of the two.
If you have two full rolls of SMS 1967 quarters I'd say your chances of finding 2-O-I would be fairly good.
