I came across this quarter tonight that to me looks like it might be doubled die only with the "old man of the mountain portion." Is this just the way the coin was made? I am not seeing anything on any other part of the coin that looks like this.       Edited by Sadieangel2

Sure looks convincing but I think it maybe clashes/strike doubling. However, if it is it's the most convincing MD I've ever seen. These newer quarters aren't my forte, so it could very well be true doubling!
P. S. Please put year, mm, series in thread title!

No, it is MD. The real key lies in size. Notice that even tho there's an "effect", the letter is reduced in size. A true doubled die will increase a devices size from normal, sometimes drastically. Another fine key is that the devices will be notched by this division line, again, slightly or drastically.

Thank you Crazyb0 So that's just a MD? I can just throw it my coin jar? For some reason we
can never get this doubled die thing down. Hopefully one of these days we'll be able to tell that difference. Thank you

Like I said in my original post, I was pretty sure it was MD too but didn't want to say 100% because I'm unfamiliar with newer quarter varieties. Anywho, yes, as per crazybo, you can spend it. I would however hold onto it to compare to others, as a reference. EDIT: here is an absolutely FANTASTIC illustration I just found on the web:  Edited by Redifin

Redfin, that was designed by Chuck Daughtrey, founder of http://www.coppercoins.com BTW...That's in my project locked on my computer due back tomorrow, its a writeup on figuring this stuff out called "Coin IDing for Dummies" (yellow cover and all...) Explains simply and in pix this stuff, free to anyone, once done just PM me for it! Even a section on Little Johnnie in the Garage errors (where else younthinknit came from  ). Edited by Crazyb0

The bounce after the strike was strong and touched just the upper areas of the devices. The devices are normal sized, with reduction on the tops of the devices. Not hub doubling, just MD.  Looked at first like a doubled die, but it is not. |
