Infrequent Reeding On Modern Coin Possible? 1976 25c

I have 4, 1976-P & D Bicentennial Washington quarters, from mint sets I was examining tonight, and, on one of the P-Mint coins, I noticed over-sized reeds, on about 35% of the coin(coin on left, both pics)......wayyyy oversized...the reeds start to get WIDER, then WIDER, near the B in LIBERTY, extend and grow in width to peak at roughly the RT, then, slowly taper down to normal size again, at 1976 date...at one point, 3 reed shows damage(impossible to shoot), on rim area facing nose, with fine lines running parallel on reed, and, those reeds are very thin.....(these 3 reeds look exactly the same as a 1921 Morgan dollar I once owned, with "Infrequent Reeds")-----From the following Society of Silver Dollar Collector's, written by Ash Harrison:
The history of this group of coins(Infrequently Reeded Morgans) is substantial. Leroy Van Allen has collected them for over 40 years and
has had a representative group of them for most of that time. He and Jeff Oxman hypothesized that this
Wide or Infrequent reed pattern of 157 reeds was on a test collar that was used very early in the production
of the 1921 coins. For over 40 years this coin was found only with the D1 reverse, which has been show to
be the first style reverse used in making the 1921. So, the fact that all the Wide Reeding varieties were
being found with D1 reverses seemed to make sense that the collar was a test design. However, this theory
was upended in 2006 when I found a coin with Wide Reeding with a D2 reverse! Needless to say, we are
now in search of a new theory on how and why the 157 reed collar was used)(http://www.ssdcvams.com/1921wideree....pdf--Author Ash Harrison--thanks Ash)..I can count them, if need be, but, it's hard to do..I use a flashlight mirror lens inverted to magnify and count them.
The reeds on modern coins are a mostly overlooked area of the coin we hear little about, except on partial collar errors, or, similar type rim-damaged coins....I wonder if this coin has the so-called "Infrequent Reeds"...only a count will answer this, I think...luckily, I have 4 to play with.Curious what YOU think of this anomoly.BTW, the coin other than the reed issues, show NOTHING out of the ordinary, and weighs in at a normal 5.62 grams.
