I've seen my share of shelf doubling over the years, largest before this was usually on old Eisenhower dollars...this 2005-P Yosemite St. Quarter takes the cake...sorry but hard to shoot, due to reflectiveness, will try for better later...the Designer initials, DE, are shifted upwards almost 1/32", as are most of letters, and outlines in a lot of areas...this was in a 2005 Uncirculated Mint Set, Satin Finish...the obverse is completely normal. I'll reshoot this, it deserves a better look--in hand, it's a mindblower. I'm in the middle of assembling a complete 2005-2010 SATIN FINISH coin album, with every coin, every mint, every year..the Dansco-type albums don't have slots for these, so, I'm making my own hybrid album.     |

Ya if there were doubling that severe for this coin, we would have many more reports about it to. Sorry bro!

Chzman..I know it's not a doubled die, there are no known for this year, and, would have been found by now...I was just showing the machine/shelf doubling....while most of these carry little to no premium, this one probably would make a small profit, with perfect pics to show the details...the other point I am curious about is why so much doubling on 1 side, and, not the other..my hunch is the lower die was loose from wear, and, shifted during the strike. If my pics were better, you would understand why I wanted to post this, no premium or not, it's still an interesting coin(to me, anyway!)

I put interesting MDs like this one in 2x2s, so I understand how you feel about them, not trying to ruin your day here.

When I started collecting, I was putting everything in 2X2's. I 10 years later realized, On cents I was loosing 4 cents per coin for the 2X2's. Live and learn.

makes me wonder when the issue was spotted..then stopped by mint workers to adjust the die setting--just happy to have this little example..I normally don't bother with these.
