Question
I can't seem to find out anything about it.I have checked ebay, Heritage and the PCGS ! Does anyone know anything about the 1987 D Washington quarter ? It has a double edge along one side !  

Answer
Hello Stephanie,     

Only an error collector really seeks this type of coin out.
Also if it is not a repeating error caused by the hub or die during the minting process it has no added value. It has to be seen to be evaluated.  

You should take it to a coin shop when you have some time and get a professionals opinion. It may have happened after it left the mint.

For more information on errors look for the "The ERROR COIN ENCYCLOPEDIA" by Arnold Margolis your library should have something on it.

I also want to mention COMBINED ORGANIZATION of NUMISMATIC ERROR COLLECTORS ASSOCIATION, they are the ultimate experts in the error coin field.

CONECA is a national numismatic organization devoted to the education of error and variety coin collectors. CONECA focuses on many error and variety specialties, including doubled dies, Repunched mint marks, multiple errors, clips, double strikes, off-metals and off-centers just to name a few.
