I'm new and have been searching all my quarters. I came across this and was wondering what everyone thinks. There is definitely doubling, but I'm not sure what type.
At first blush, I would say incuse Machine Doubling or maybe late stage Die Deterioration pulling the letter cavities into elongated shapes. But visually that would be an extreme example of either phenomenon.
Actually, I'm going to retract the Die Deterioration comment. That would mean that the raised letter on the working die was getting physically longer, which makes no sense. My brain just isn't accustomed to working inverted for the latest incuse coin lettering.
