Is this a double strike on the reverse Washington quarter and would this be considered damaged?   |

Its hard to tell from the pictures. Can you post a closer picture of the area? And a picture of the obverse?

@bat, I'm seeing circulation dings but no doubling when I crop, enlarge, and enhance your pic. Maybe add a nice close-up so that we can see what you are with the coin in hand? Thx.  Also, can you please add the date of this quarter to the title? This helps us with searching. Thx. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

If it was a Double Strike, the whole reverse would be affected, not just one area. Just damage from circulation. PMD |

I'll try to ferry a better pic of the whole coin. It almost looks as if it was a restrike of an older coin but I'm not sure if that's such a thing

the top of the eagle's wing, the last S in States, and the first A in America show doubling of some sort, need better pics to know, but it looks potentially interesting

If it were a double strike, all devices on both sides of the coin would all show the same thing. It doesn't. So if these are incuse, they are coin contact.

So a double strike affects both sides of the coin? I thought the other side is struck with a completely different die? So there's not a chance of one side being struck normal?

Or do you mean left/right side of the coin? And not obverse/reverse?

So after doing a little more research about error coins, I've come to the conclusion that you are incorrect. What you are referring to is considered a doubled die, which is the doubling of the devices and effects the whole obverse or reverse. Which is an error in the production of a die; and multiple coins with the same error are created from that die (more valuable). A double strike is the striking of a coin and can result in only certain parts of a coin depending on how the coin shifts positions after the initial strike. Double strike can effect a single planchet or even another planchet added onto the original if it happens to find its way under the die before the original is fully ejected. A double strike error is one of a kind because the die is not affected in anyway given it doesn't have a die break.(less valuable). A coin can contain a doubled die and double strike at the same time. (Even more valuable but I assume extremely rare)

I think you may have missed the point of Coops last reply. (He's been doing this for like a billion years and has an understanding of Doubled Die vs. double struck.  ) "Incuse" (recessed) was the operative word. Are the secondary elements you are seeing incuse or raised? Incuse areas/elements on a coin usually indicate damage (but not always). Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Well I apologize, as ive stated in ther beginning, I'm new to this. Just a bunch of coincidences that individual devices have the same indentions so close to them. But the obverse doesn't fir what I can notice. I have found another quarter tho that looks interesting I'll be posting in a few. Is it possible for a bicentennial to have a repunched mint mark? Looks like it could be a double struck but also looks like the original mint was repunched with a different mint
