Your looking in the wrong areas for a doubled die. The State and ATB Quarters are the single squeeze dies. Thus the doubled dies are on the centers of both sides of the coins, not on the outside devices 99% of the time.

I am not looking for DD only, I like all the cool extraordinary staff on the coins. I weigh them first, and those which are slightly different in weight more likely have some errors. This 2000 quarter was heavier than others.
That is why I am here on the forum for someone to explain the process and what could create that abnormal thickness especially around the sails of the ships.
Sorry, I do not feel like I was answered. Same way in the topic I posted a long time ago http://goccf.com/t/381222
p.s Once again talking about the process of what creates such an error. Fewer answers - more value to me.

Not certain of your logic, but ok... how much difference in weight brings the most errors?

If you are looking only at a weight change, you are missing out on a lot of errors, I guarantee! I recommend you read back pages of this CCF section to acquaint yourself of what items to look for with error coins. Bonne chance

No, that is not what I meant. I weigh all I have, then I check the lighter or heavier coins first, but others last.
But those are only remarks on my reply and not important!

All kinds of dialogue are pertinent and helpful to everyone that visits this forum, to learn about your coin. Others that read this thread will be curious and learn from the info shared. It may not have been your intent to come off as impatient, but if it was, you will only hear crickets from other members. When you tell someone their comments "are not important" it will turn members away from your posts and questions and we all lose out. Please be patient and understand we are all trying to help. Also remember it is easy to take comments the wrong way online.

So, no answers would be the most valuable to you?

Your initial question was:

Coop addressed your question with very pertinent information about the creation of doubled dies during this period. You didn't seem to like this info and then you went on to talk about weight. When Merclover talked about weight, you went back to asking about doubling on coins. This thread is getting confusing and you are the one steering it.

(Lets see if I have any better luck or if I get reprimanded as well.) I see no splits on any of the letters or devices to indicate a coin struck by die doubling. Your coin appears to have Die Deterioration and/or MD. Neither of which is affected by the weight of the coin.

Or is your question really about the weight (which you haven't included in this post)?

Ok sorry everyone for the confusion. let me explain myself and express the right way.
First of all, I do not have big experience and knowledge, especially about the process.
For example, before I knew about double ear on the LMS I thought that headpiece is solid and so on.
I am just learning about all this stuff. Different from some other people, I would like to know "HOW?"
All I try to ask that: when I did weigh the similar Virginia coins, the one was havier which made me check it first. Then I saw extra thickening on it.
I need to mention that I am still learning and I just resonantly jumped on quarters. And I thought that there some errors like spikes, extra leaves,
trees, etcetera. I do not have any knowledge about DD in the quarters.
With all my respect to "coop" (he is a real coin monster of this forum and helped me with some cool references), this time he talked to me like I was professional. Sometimes I do not understand.
I didn't want to ask where to look for something, but WHY and HOW - why they're such a thick doubling around the contours of the sails and some letters, and how it was created during the prosses.
And also

Answering your question: "So, no answers would be the most valuable to you?"
I realize I am not on the philosopher's forum. Ok. If there no answer about how some error could be created makes the coin value to me and me only. I want to find the coin people would puzzle around without a possible idea of how could it be. Now maybe you understand.

I will take it as MD on the letters for the answer. Definitely not the sails (the doubling is not flat). And DDD spared toward the rim as "coop" explained to me before. How it would apply to the sails?

I don't see doubling. Just shadows.

Noobz, Thanks for taking the time to help us understand your questions.

I believe the sails are MD as well. MD can be caused by many methods. "White metal" coins have given me the hardest time telling the difference but when there is no notching it has always ended up being MD. Nickels, dimes, and quarters have lots of MD on them.

Are you familiar with Doubleddies.com ?

Wexler does a great job of describing the different types of doubled dies.
