Have Some Questions On State Quarters On Reverse

All of it is Machine Doubling.

The devices on the area inside of the ring are all incuse. That means they are raised on the die. So any movement during the strike before or after, causes the devices to look like doubled dies. But are Machine Doubling. So much so, that as high as 70% of the coins can have mild or major doubling, caused by the machines. The area for the States and ATB Quarters to look for doubled dies in not on the outside devices, but in the central areas for doubled dies. These are the single squeeze dies. The doubling is in the centers of the devices 98% of the time. Look at Wexler's listings and you will see that is the case. So on the obverse look at the earlobes. Reverses look for the central areas for DDRs. The previous doubled dies were hubbed differently. Now with the single squeeze dies, most of the time, the doubling is found in a different area more towards the centers. (class 9 doubled dies) so coin post 1996, the doubling is in a different location than the Class 1-8 doubled dies. Sometimes the single squeeze dies are started to be hubbed, then the worker notices that it was not starting correctly. So he backs off and restarts the process. So they are making a die that was hubbed twice. (So they are then the Class1-8 doubled dies.) but that is not supposed to happen. On the Class 9 doubled dies, it is a one step hubbing process, that started wrong, but snaps in to the correct position. The out of alignment kiss is altered when it snapped into place, but the center part still shows a doubled die. On the quarters there are so far only two dies (one from each series) that is not class 9 doubled dies. So that is why I mentioned 98% of the time earlier. (I'll add images tomorrow, I'm using my tablet now and it is harder to post images from it.)

On the single squeeze coins, the incuse devices that are near the central area, when a doubled die happens on them, they devices don't get larger, they get smaller:



But the devices on the outside edge devices are not affected. (well not that I've seen so far, but who knows) But all the examples like yours occurs on a large percentage of the coins. (70% mild or strong) So they are not a doubled die. Why? Because the doubling is created by the machine. On a doubled die, the doubling is on the die, thus the term doubled die.
