Super Machine Doubling

Hi guy's, I picked this 1964 Washington Quarter up yesterday, to ask the question. Has anyone ever seen a coin with such a dramatic "Machine Doubling?"
I mean, everywhere. Even on the poor eagle. Lol. Check out the MM. All of the MD seems only to be on the reverse? On the obverse, letters seem to be flattened. Although, on the obverse, the C in America, also seems to be flattened. What do you make of this? Is there another name for this sort of strike? Thanks










Here are the the flattened letters and numbers




From a short distance, the coin looks beautiful. Well at least far better than up close. Lol

    Based on the questions and answers I have seen on this and other coin forums, I expect that machine doubling is pervasive.

    I remember you said you are looking through 64D quarters for Type C reverses. Any luck spotting one in the wild?

    No luck, as of yet? Thanks. About the "C" Reverse? So, besides the separation of the E and S in states. what else needs to be on the reverse? The arrows need to have sharp points and above the leaf. What else? Thanks :*

    Looks to be an extremely worn die to me instead of machine doubling.

    Have a good day, Gary

    These are the most frequent images I see depicting pick up points.

    Type C is the easiest to ID based on the tail feathers. See the vein running down the middle? That is the PUP.
