AF1996 New Member United States 30 Posts	Posted 09/17/2022 5:09 pm Hi I recently found a 1994-D quarter with extra thickness on the letters and date. Especially on Liberty. Also, there appears to be 2 eyebrows or eye ridge area and the tip of the nose may also have some doubling. There may be a notch at the top of the nose area. I mostly look for coin variety's among Lincoln cents. However, I recently went through a couple quarter rolls I got at the bank looking for some of the new 2022 quarters that are coming out. This 1994-D stood out from the extra thickness of Liberty and the date. I'm just getting started in coin collecting and coin roll hunting so I'm still learning how to identify double die's and other coin errors. Thanks for checking this out!

AF1996 New Member United States 30 Posts	Posted 09/17/2022 8:53 pm Hi, the coin doesn't seem unusually worn when compared to other quarters. It's actually in pretty good shape. Here's a couple other pictures of the quarter. I set a 1995-D next to the 1994-D to compare too. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96347 Posts	Posted 09/17/2022 9:06 pm To be honest, the 95 you posted up for a comparison looks to be in much better condition. I'll have to agree that the lettering looks flattened. All sides of the lettering are fat in all directions. Doubling would be in only one direction. Collecting since 1972.

AF1996 New Member United States 30 Posts	Posted 09/17/2022 9:09 pm There also could be doubling of the eyebrow or upper eye area? Along the upper bridge of the nose is possibly a notch. Possibly doubling of the tip of the nose? Here's 2 pictures of the area's I'm curious about. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
AF1996 New Member United States 30 Posts	Posted 09/17/2022 9:31 pm Hey Deaborn, The thickness on the letters does appear to go clockwise. The E seems to move clockwise. More at the top then the bottom. The T and the Y also seems to move clockwise. The T seems thicker towards the top then bottom. Here's a few pictures. I pointed to the area's with a red arrow. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

CoffeeTime Valued Member United States 94 Posts	Posted 09/17/2022 11:12 pm Looks to be Machine Doubling from a deteriorating die. Notice how the numbers and letters all flow towards the rim. Report this Post to the Staff
AF1996 New Member United States 30 Posts	Posted 09/18/2022 07:11 am So I did have another 1994-D quarter to compare this to. The quarter on the left of this picture is the one I'm curious about. Washington on the left coin looks different when compared to the other quarter. His chin seems to go a little further out and the hair roll on the back of his head seems different. The reverse of this coin seems in good condition. Thanks for checking it out! Report this Post to the Staff
AF1996 New Member United States 30 Posts	Posted 09/18/2022 07:31 am Here are a couple pictures of the mouth and chin area. The picture with the chin moving out further is the coin I'm curious about. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
AF1996 New Member United States 30 Posts	Posted 09/18/2022 07:54 am Here's a couple more pictures comparing both 1994-D quarters. I think the thickness in the letters seems to be going clockwise. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
AF1996 New Member United States 30 Posts	Posted 09/18/2022 08:38 am Hey sorry for all the pictures. However, since I found another 1994-D I wanted to post a few comparison pictures. Could Machine Doubling cause the changes to the tip of the nose, eyebrow area and cause the chin to go out further? Thanks for taking a look! Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 09/18/2022 5:29 pm Your left quarter it is the 1992 VDO and the right it is VDO 1994. So you can not compare the both. The 1992 design has the letters thicker and the border widened. The 1994-1998 the hairline and the curls was sharpened. Report this Post to the Staff
