I've looked into and studied the possibility of this coin but would like to know from what I can only say are mostly experts on this form. it took me about 4 hrs of investigating. can anyone confirm or deny a DDO and/or DDR. Any and all advice is welcomed.

to CCF.

Do you know of the different web sites that list known varieties? Check out VarietyVista.com (one of the easiest to use) no use looking at a coin that has no known varieties (ddos, ddrs,rpms...ect...) Although new varieties are still found on older coins...but that is few and far in between. These web sites will also show you what to look for.

As far as your quarter goes...all I'm seeing is Machine Doubling (no added value) spend it and don't worry.

Good luck on future finds, have fun and keep asking when needed...

. It is MD=machine doubling. Just a FYI:it is called a doubled die,not a double die.There are many forms of doubling we need to learn,here is a good source. https://koinpro.tripod.com/Articles...Doubling.htm

Note on the last three images, the 'N' on UNUM:
1. Note the width of the two vertical devices on that area on the 'N'.
Note on the left side, the MD reduces the size of that device..
2. How is that device reduced in size? The contour of that device was pushed on the left side of the device.
3. Note the affected area is showing width at the bottom of that device, that it was there, but the Machine Doubling pushed aside that device.
4. If it were a DDR, both side of the device would be enlarged and the same size.
So Machine Doubling reduces the size of the devices after the strike. On a doubled die, the doubling is on the die and would be enlarged on several of the devices, often the same:

To have both a DDO and DDR would be extremely rare. Much more common is to have neither. You have Machine Doubling that carries no premium I'm afraid, sorry.

I was fooled by Machine Doubling many times when I was new to the hobby. With time, the difference with a DDO will become more obvious.
