Take a look at this quarter with doubling on EPU and the designers initials. There is no listing for such a DDR. There are clear separation lines on the lower portions of EPU, and most notably split serifs on the lower legs of the U's in UNUM. Also, obvious separation on the entirety of the designers initials. I look forward to your comments.

It is a 1999 D 25c. Sorry, I meant to include that information along with a photo of the Obverse.

DDD? DDD would not appear as split serifs on devices as we see on this coin. Isn't that correct?

Looks like MD and circulation damage to me.

Probably vending machine damage. Note just the outside edges are affected closest to the rim?

MD? DDD? Vending Machine Damage? IMHO, these all seem inconsistent with the photos.
Look again at the separation lines and split serifs on E PLURIBUS UNUM. There is no "shelf like" doubling which you would see if this was MD. And the coin does not appear to have any line scratches traveling between the devices or obvious dings on the reverse consistent with PMD. I have provided additional photos with arrows highlighting the doubling, separation lines, and split serifs which are consistent with DDR.

There are split serifs on the bottom left of E, P and L; and the devices are enlarged at the bottom of each, not lessened as you would see with MD. The separation lines do not appear to be lines of scratches you might see if caused by MD or PMD.

1999-D-25c-Connecticut-Rev-Doubling-New-DDR?
The separation lines in U are curved within the device, not what you would see with MD or straight line scratches. R and I have split serifs.
The devices appear enlarged.

B in PLURIBUS exhibits a split serif on the bottom left edge. The S has a curved separation line. Neither seem consistent with a scratch line or PMD; the devices appear enlarged.
1999-D-25c-Connecticut-Rev-Doubling-New-DDR?
Both U's in UNUM exhibit the same curved separation lines as in the separation line in the U in PLURIBUS, and both have split serifs on the right bottom legs. All of the devices appear enlarged by the doubling, which is not consistent with MD; and there are no obvious scratch lines indicating PMD. Also there is no evidence of DDD on the rest of the devices on the top portion of the reverse--wouldn't that be evident if this doubling was DDD?
Can you definitely rule out DDR as the cause of the reverse doubling? If you have seen another coin with DDD, PMD or MD that has doubling similar to that on this coin I would like to see it for comparison purposes.
Thanks in advance for your input.

It doesn't look like a doubled die due to the reduction in the size of the devices. A doubled die will increase the size with a second, rounded area that is outside the original. This looks as if it cuts into the original device.
