Good find!

I can tell that something is definitely off, but we need better pics to be sure.

Still, I think a high-resolution close-up is the only way to determine if this is a doubled-die. Do you have a digital camera? It's a good investment for a coin collector, especially one interested in errors.

I thought the edge/rim looked altered. The start of a Dryer Coin maybe?

looking in the background...looks like someone is having cranberry sauce and crab dip for thanksgiving...lol

This coin is not a doubled die. The '42-D DDO quarter is very dramatic and naked eye visible, this coin is not from that die.
