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.

Well yeah, many folks are drawn to the idea of winning the lottery by finding a hyper-valuable coin in their pocket change. People find it fun to contemplate. The notion isn't entirely misplaced—there are many posts on this very forum where people have pulled coins out of their pocket change worth $50, $100, or considerably more.
I do think, however, that there is much more consistency to learning how to identify rare and interesting coins online, and then hunting for them systematically.
