This is my first post here, been into the whole collecting coins for the past 4-5 months. Glad to be here, let's get into this.

I mainly have been checking pennies but about a week ago I decided to start saving the late 80's and back quarters.

I stumbled upon this 1984 D Washington quarter, and it seems to have a very odd 'doubling'(not so knowledged in lingo) that runs from the bottom of the wing up and outlines the "United States of America" as for showing the 'spitting eagle'.
I also noticed the front of the planchet showed abnormal 'doubling' in front of George's mouth going up to his nose and somewhat passing down under his chin.

Appears to be Machine Doubling, not uncommon.

Looks like MD ( Machine Doubling) to me, and some DDD ( Die Deterioration Doubling). All common forms of doubling and they add no extra value. Happy hunting!

Also what exactly makes a coin worth even blinking a eye at? I've heard and saw people go crazy over some DD and say they are worth tons.
Could someone shed any light on what makes something worth a darn ?

Thanks for quick replies everyone, very much appreciated!
