This is my first post, so be gentle. &

I've been collecting coins since I was a kid. My dad got me into it. He recently passed away and as a result, I've gotten serious about it.

I was sorting coins and came across this Northern Mariana Islands Quarter. I checked Wexler's listings and it's not there. I read this column all the time and would welcome members' opinions.

DDR?

Thank you.

That is Machine Doubling, very common on these series.

To expand on Jimmy's answer, this is incuse Machine Doubling. On incuse devices, Machine Doubling presents the way a doubled die would on raised design elements (enlarged devices, split serifs, etc.). On an actual doubled die, incuse design elements would be reduced, not enlarged.

These devices are incuse (sunk below the devices, because they are raised on the die) The slightest movement on the machine will alter out of 100 I checked, 70% were showing mild-strong Machine Doubling. (30% didn't have Machine Doubling) On the DDR, they are located in the center areas of the design. Check those on Wexler's site to know what to look for on each design. Then you eye will spot what you are seeking.

On raised an incuse devices, they act totally opposite on Machine Doubling and doubled dies.

On a DDR on a shield cent you can see how they are opposite. How did I figure this out? On a 2013 DDR. Discovered the DDR on incuse devices reduces the size of the devices. Machine Doubling enlarges the devices on the incuse devices.

We are still finding new stuff all the time. So it will continue to add new things as we discover how these designs advance to newer designs/die processes/striking processes and what new things will be introduced.

New reverse frosting on the dies:
Normal not enhanced:
What is different? The fields are frosted and the design is shiny.

Reverse Enhanced Frosting:
2019-American-Memorial-Park-Quarter-Ddr?
Reverse frosted, with parts of the design enhanced.

With the laser, they can change the frosting on the dies. Before they frost the hole die, and then polish the fields to make just the fields shiny. But now, they can reverse frost these proof coins. So keeping an open mind, maybe we can find something new, even on proof coins. I remember one design that was not fully frosted once, but looks like I didn't save those images. (Or haven't found them yet?) But that is how we learn. Noticing slight differences on coins. Then later figure out what happened. So we are always learning new stuff.
