Sorry, 1st post.
This is on the 1976 quarter.
I see the 976-D 25¢ WDDO-001
But there is no doubling on 'LIBERTY'

to CCF. This is Machine Doubling. Notice how the devices are reduced (the highest point on the 7s especially, then 'steps' down. |

Appreciate all the feedback.
I found examples of doubling like yours, but never doubling on the date so I was trying to get a gauge on the value as well as authenticity.
I will put it in a cardboard holder and put a note on it, not retiring tomorrow on it

I would like to see that T in Liberty better, and right side up. Is that gunk protruding left from the bar, or metal? There is a twisted character to IGWT that is similar to the two DDO. Odds are this is a normal quarter with a bit of MD and Die Deterioration distortion, but let's be sure. Both doubled dies for the bicentennial quarter are worth money. |

In case anyone is still following this thread, I have a new toy(USB microscope) and wanted to add a better image.  |

Do not post photos of scope screens! If you want to show us the best image, use the memory card or a USB cable to transfer images.

Thank you for the links, I am learning as I go.
The first time I thought I could retire, I thought I had found a 1943 copper cent.
It turned out to be a steel that somebody had painted.
Oh well, it went into the fakes bag.
