Still looks mechanical, but remember, I'm not the expert here. What's interesting is that I have several 1964-D coins that look just like this. I haven't seen any years other than the 1964-D with that type of Mechanical Doubling.

Its Mechanical Doubling (the mintmark too) and it is pretty scratched up on the surface. Lots of hairlines. This one is not a high grade of any kind. Probably not XF with all the scratches. It would be considered a scrap silver piece so whatever a quarter would go for today based upon it's silver content is what this one is worth. Thanks, Bill

4fun, Machine Doubling was hard for me and my 54 yr old eyes. I have just purchased a nice scope and have gone thru a few thousands Lincolns since and have studied the difference between doubled die strikes and Machine Doubling. I am still learning but am much better at recognizing the difference, now. If you get the chance, spend sometime looking at them up real close, it will make a huge difference. Jim

In the last pic...
What's going on over the A in DOLLAR?
Is that a dropped mint mark or something?

Hey guys, looking at the last pic and the tail feathers, is that a "B" reverse?

I don't believe so. The leaves are too weak.
Besides, 'B' is only for 1964-P.

Types A and B exist for all year and mint mark 1956 thru 1964...type C only for 1964( according to BREEN) Happy Turkey to all!
Your coin is type A...condition whizzed F at best...worth melt $2.25

To Clarify.
Type B has been found only on 1956 - 1964 Philadelphia minted quarters. Type B is easiest to see by looking for a wider space between the E and S of States. Type B has not been found on any Denver minted quarters (to my knowledge) Type B refers to a modification of proof dies intended to be used from 1936 - 1964 and again from 1968 to 1972.
Type C is on 1964-D quarters not 1964 as suggested. Perhaps the poster simply omitted the Mintmark. These have stronger tail feathers as well as differences in the strength of the leaves.
Type C was also used on some 1968 S proof coins and then all proof quarters from 1973 through 1998
Type C is really the use of a die prepared for production of 1965 Clad quarters. One die accidentally got shipped to Denver and had a mintmark added and that one die produced the 1964-D Type C quarters.
