Has anyone else seen this. I opened up a roll of Ps and on everyone of them the eye was doubled. I waited till my bag came, and all 100 of them was the same way. They were dated 4 days apart. First I thought the roll was MD, then the bag confirmed they were all that way. I'm not that great of a picture taker so bear with me.   Edited by Cujohn 06/11/2023 9:12 pm

Nice find John, But I'm always confused between master die doubling an regular doubling - and how to tell the difference.

I'n your case, it may be easy to tell the difference because all of them were this way, but what if you only have one?

That's what I thought on the first 4 or 5, and on the roll. Odds would have been astronomical on a whole roll, so I waited for the bag. So I'm pretty sure it's MDD.

I agree with you. Sometimes judgment has to be held until more examples point one way or the other. And until you have more to compare to you wouldn't be able to tell. Your thread reminded me of this one- http://goccf.com/t/439730A similar conundrum happens when true working hub doubling happens but looks like MD. 1935 DDO-001 comes to mind. http://varietyvista.com/01a%20LC%20...5PDDO001.htm(It does have notching/thickness on WE TRUST even though the date looks MD-ish)

I guess we'll have to see. So far I've seen 6 different die parings in the bag.

One thing to make note of is that I remember Coop writing that there are no master dies anymore, which I understood to mean the die production is "computer-driven" (so there isn't a need for master dies). I can't remember reading that before but it would make sense that dies, with current technology, could be produced by software instead of master dies. I'm not sure if that would indicate a glitch in the software causing the issues (if the same doubling "issue" shows up on multiple dies). The 2015 Homestead quarter comes to mind with the dozens of DDR window varieties that are documented. Hopefully, Coop chimes in to confirm my memory or correct me.

Speaking of Coop, where is he? He hasn't posted since May 28 - a long time for him to NOT be posting something.

Well I got my Eleanor quarter today. It would appear that my coin has that Hub doubling too, just not as strong as yours.

It's not just the eye that's doubled on many I have found it is also the forehead nose mouth chin and neck.

I've noticed this doubled eye as well. Not entirely certain what it is yet. I can confirm it does not exist on every Roosevelt quarter, I checked some of the ones I put aside and there's at least one here without it. If my memory is correct it also exists paired with other reverses, but I'll have to confirm that. I've been dismissing it as Machine Doubling myself for a while. It does appear to be decreasing the size of the eye like Machine Doubling and there has been some pretty deceptive Machine Doubling on some of the newer quarters (The plane on the Coleman quarter commonly has MD), but looking at it closer now it doesn't seem to have any obvious signs of it being Machine Doubling under high magnification. The mint certainly changed something in the hubbing process circa 2021-2022. I've noticed a ton of unusual and frequent hubbing issues on many newer coins. There will probably be a few doubled working hubs and master dies once everything is studied and documented. Maybe related to experimentations with die curvature? (Page 13: https://www.usmint.gov/wordpress/wp...5_FINAL.pdf) Who knows?
