Washington's profile is doubled from his forehead to his lips. I pointed out the doubling with purple arrows, and wrote the location of the coin in blue. I welcome your feedback.

Actually a very common place for MD on quarters. Keep looking quarters used to be my favorite coins to look through. My only rotated dies I ever found are quarters Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 01/28/2016 6:06 pm , the shelf appearance is an instant determination of Machine Doubling. Report this Post to the Staff
seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 01/28/2016 6:11 pm Look at your second to last photo. Look how the "doubling" cuts into the nose. Doubled dies do not cut into a device, they are exactly the same as the part of the device it is doubling. Very classic Machine Doubling on this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
MS70Error5 Valued Member United States 434 Posts	Posted 01/28/2016 6:12 pm In my eyes it looks raised. The 4th picture shows it as the same level as the forehead. The little "bump" in the 6th picture also is raised. The edges are also rounded not straight. The lips are the one part I am not sure about. Report this Post to the Staff

MS70Error5 Valued Member United States 434 Posts	Posted 01/28/2016 6:14 pm Doubled dies cannot cut into a device. I did not know that Seal. How come this MD is very raised compared to the real flat type? Report this Post to the Staff

seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 01/28/2016 6:51 pm MD varies from coin to coin. That is also what differs it from a doubled die which would be the same coin to coin. The anomoly is not on the die itself like a true doubled die. It is something that occurs during the striking and ejection process. Report this Post to the Staff
