2014 Quarter With Possible Doubling With Liberty And One Other Area

If you look at the left upright on the U, you can see how it's reduced in width (size) by the "doubling". It's Machine Doubling caused from extra movement of a loose die. The extra movement when the die struck the coin altered the device it had just created.
If it was real doubling, the doubling would be on the die itself, and would leave the "U" normal, but adding the doubling would increase it's size.
Coop's picture shows what I just told you.



If you're ever in doubt about what the normal size of a device should be, you can usually tell by comparing your coin to another of the same year.

Now that's really crazy! Every time I type in the letter you it comes out you.

Thanks Fuzzy, I thought for a minute there I was nuts.

Ha ha ha At the end of the day, yes, there is that.

This is Strike Doubling - not a doubled die.

Hi ya Ken, good to hear from you. Since we're on this subject, I hope you'll help me with something. I fully understand how a raised device receives a flat and shelf-like addition from die bounce. (The relief on the die contacts the relief on the coin).
Now that we're having so many coins with incused devices, it concerns me that I am having trouble grasping how an incuse device on the coin receives a raised addition.
