This 1965 quarter was found in my pocket change. It has definitely seen quite a bit of circulation but still shows some clear doubling in my amateur opinion but I am still trying to learn how to correctly identify error coins and which varieties are worth collecting so any feedback is welcome.

How much would this quarter be worth if anything over face value? Where can one find resources online to determine value for error coins? Thanks for any info you can share.

That is an example of Machine Doubling. How is that different than a doubled die? On a coin like yours, the coin was struck with a normal die. Then on the way away from the coin, the dies lightly move altering the coin. The areas you are looking at are where the dies altered the devices on a normal coin. This happens a lot. No a doubled die, the doubling is on the die, not created after the strike. (even though doubled dies show some Machine Doubling because of the same issue. But if your coin was a doubled die, you would expect the devices to be enlarged.

Note how much larger the devices are on the same area of the coin? Compare with the 'E' on WE on this coin and on your coin? When you look at Machine Doubling on a coin, the area affected are showing the same color because that area is now flattened. On a doubled die, you see notching/spreads on those areas. And the color goes from light to dark because the original contour of the coin is still there. Another example:

Three images. The center one is normal.
The one on the left is Machine doubled (MD).
The one in the right is a doubled die. DDO\DDR
Here is what the MD doubled example looks like on ONE:

When you see these side by side you can see the big difference.

Right, so flat with shelf-like edges - just a good example of MD!

Thanks everyone for your replys, and your's especially Coop was extremely helpful. Cheers. I never fully understood what a double die was and that the die itself had the doubling in it.

That is why they called 'Doubled Dies' because the doubling is on the die. Each coin struck with that die will show the same doubling.

Key word right there. That should help you a lot now. Just remember this sentence that Coop typed and you'll know.
