1964 quarter using 1963 obverse die? I have recently found a 1964 Quarter that was clearly pressed with a 1963 obverse die. The rotation was off just enough that the date and lettering of liberty of the 63 is centered between the date and lettering of the 64 die. It would appear that the master die for 1964 was used on a 63 die. I know that in the late 1870's it was illegal to use a obverse die past the date year on the die. Did this law get changed later on? It appears obvious that the 63 die was not ground down far enough before annealing and using the 64 master die. Though very faint you can see the ponytail and back of washingtons head as well. Anyone a specialist on 64 quarters that could enlighten me on how to move forward with this coin?
