cocoanutz Valued Member United States 65 Posts	Posted 03/26/2019 3:49 pm Hello CCF. I have been looking and looking and looking at many coins (coin jars and change). And finally I have discovered the most unique quarter I have ever seen!! Please help me analyze and confirm this on all (below). Thank you all a) This 25c clad on obverse shows (the Doubled Die especially a lot clearer on "D" "WE" of 'IN GOD WE TRUST') => these letters show 3 layers under magnification ! ! ! Is there such thing as a "Tripled Die" at all? b) 1972 ? c) D looks doubled (thick) ? d) You will also see doubling on Washington's nose, lips (look like lipstick lips), and a double chin ? e) Reverse showing signs too ?

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75476 Posts	Posted 03/26/2019 4:50 pm You don't have a DDO or a DDR. Just a average circulated normal Washington quarter worth 25 cents. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34455 Posts	Posted 03/26/2019 5:12 pm @cocoanutz, a great place to find examples of DDOs and DDRs is at varietyvista.com. On that site, I don't see any doubled dies listed for the '72 D quarters (see below link). That doesn't mean that they don't exist, but it greatly calls into question your example. More likely, you have a fabulous example of Machine Doubling on the IGWT. http://www.varietyvista.com/09b%20W...Listings.htm "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

morganhuls Valued Member United States 130 Posts	Posted 03/26/2019 5:27 pm I agree with Spence. What I see is Machine Doubling, or MD. A really good example too! :) Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/26/2019 8:38 pm If it were a doubled die, then the devices would be enlarged. I'm not seeing any of that on your coin: Edited by coop 03/26/2019 8:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 03/29/2019 07:25 am After enlarging the images quite a bit I would say it is Machine Doubling, but it IS rather extreme, especially on WE. No premium value but a great study/display example. Report this Post to the Staff
