    2015-P Bombay Hook Quarter Minor DDR Discovery?

    I'm 99% positive I just found a very minor DDR on a Bombay Hook ATB quarter from my pocket change. The anomaly very closely mimics the Minnesota "extra tree" DDRs. It's located in the center, slightly north, and east of the head of the great egret. Look at the center island of grass. There's a V shaped gap. The "V" is made of two longer pieces of grass. There's normally nothing inside the V. This one has, what looks to be, extra grass. It doesn't look like a chip. Take a look. I have a pic of a normal for comparison. Also a nice chip above JF on the obverse for a die marker. I'd love for someone to find another. Thanks all!

    first image is normal

    There is defiantly something extra in the middle of the two points in the second picture. Looks like to me it has a good shot at being a DDR.

      That does look possible... It appears to be the same shape and size as the grass piece directly to its west... Maybe Wexler would like to see this one???

        Extra grass? Great eye there. Oh, and thanks for reminding me it's time to mow the yard. Good luck with your attribution.

          I don't know how you search these without going blind! I still have $75 face of BU Minnesota quarters from 3 years ago that just can't force myself to search. I made it about $2.00 deep in the bag and I already had a migraine from the glare! . I think I'll let my "extra trees" grow for a few years before I check again.
          Nice find!

            It was just one in my pocket. I don't search quarter rolls, only Lincolns with the occasional Jefferson roll. Copper is much easier on the eyes! Lol!

              Based on its location, I would say it is a doubled die. I also think it is something John Wexler might be willing to attribute. Great work!

                UPDATE:

                I never sent either of the 2 I found to be attributed. I did send images to Wexler, but he just linked me to the attribution guidelines. So, I just decided to save money & wait. I checked today and John had finally found one himself. It's listed as WDDR-008 here: http://doubleddie.com/2010837.html

                I found 2 of these, so if someone wants one, just ask. First come, first serve.
