I got a 1988 D quarter with MD. But can a single coin have both MD/DDD and DD.
1988-D-Washington-Quarter.
1988-D-Washington-Quarter.
1988-D-Washington-Quarter.
1988-D-Washington-Quarter.
1988-D-Washington-Quarter.

PS I'm still new and only half sure it is MD at all

The answer is yes. It doesn't happen often though. Your coin is showing sever die aging. How can I tell? Note on the fields of your coin. See the strong flow lines there? That is part of the way it shows its age. Also the devices will start a flow process also to the rims. Note on TRUST? The last 'T' is smaller than the First 'T'. Just a part of die wear. (there is also coin contact there also) Also note on TRUST, you can see Machine Doubling moving to the rim direction also pushing the devices to reduce them This happens after the strike and altered the fresh new dies devices, by the machine. On "STATES' you can see where the tops of the devices are moving towards the rim, because of die wear. But there is no doubled die present on this coin. Just MD and Die wear. Just a spender unless you want to save it to a new collector you encounter. I refer to you coin as being in VLDS. (Very-Late-Die-State)

Thanks coop. You must have great patience. You're usually the most in depth responses. And often retelling the same thing to different people (twice for me alone on MD and die wear). I'm learning and don't stop teaching.

Rather than give a yes or no answer, I prefer to help everyone see what I see on their coins. I was not taught that way and it took me a lot longer to learn with just yes or no answers. So Answering with images and patience, others learn a lot faster.
