2017 P Frederick Douglas Quarter, Doubling Or MD?

Coop, you do see the extra G and L though right? I know the "Stretching" is 100% MD but the extra serif under the top portion of the "G" and the left portion of the "L" look like a completely separate strike. Again, I know there is a lot of MD on here but how would a die shift completely split like that without showing the "Stretch" (MD).

Just curious.

The point is that the DDR's are not on that area. These devices are incuse and never part of a DDR. Just the centers of the design.

I agree with coop, you have incuse Machine Doubling.

This is exactly what I was talking about on the 2015 Canada quarter post earlier. Incuse doubling is the opposite of what you'd expect. A true doubled die would make these letters thinner while Machine Doubling looks just like what true doubling looks like on raised elements.

Although I disagree with Coop this is not entirely MD. The doubling towards the rim is actually Die Deterioration Doubling, the doubling to the southwest on the GL is Machine Doubling.

I think a lot of the "70% of ATB Quarters with MD" are likely Die Deterioration Doubling. Not to say the MD isn't also common, but I see the DDD more often.
