very interesting engraving error for the original die.
I wonder if it should be called a doubled die?
Is it an "engraving error" or a "hubbing error"?
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

Whatever the case may be on the nature of his left hand digit anomaly, as a lover of jazz and Duke Ellington, I will certainly be paying very close attention to the clad quarters that pass through my hands from this point onwards!
Before this thread, I didn’t give a hoot about that series and any of the other obscure errors found in quarters minted after 1965. It’s not so much the monetary value as the serendipity of the extra finger on this great musicians hand- even though Duke wasn’t an extraordinarily flashy player like Art Tatum or Oscar Peterson, it’s nevertheless REALLY fitting and COOL!
Congratulations Joe, and thank you for the education!

GC sold one last Jan but it was a MS65 - don't know if prices have gone up since then..............Wonder what the OP's coin would grade and how much would that affect the price?

The guy has 6 fingers and a thumb on the left hand. I am wondering how this Doubled die occurred there are the first 3 letters dropped way below normal but where is the rest of the doubling? ELL and then looks to be no more.

If you look there and scroll down it shows some die blanks before being pressed. Note that they are conical in shape, the initial hub pressing only imparts the central details. This is the reason doubled dies like this or the 1984 DDO 1C only show doubling near the center.
Now I know what you are probably thinking... "Don't they use 'single squeeze' hubbing now?". It would appear at least for this die they did not, or they had to stop and reset for whatever reason.
Wow- congratulations! I had the pleasure of examining one at the ANACS table a while back, and it's definitely a very cool, interesting, and rare doubled die!

It took a year or so.... thought I'd put a lid on it.
After seeing a thread with a question about whether or not to send in a 1919 Mercury dime that's doubled and having too much into it, "reminded" me of my own condition.
Not my area of interest; have a “real money” bias for gold and silver allowing some older copper dalliance; value to me is $0.25 but hopefully you’ll find a buyer when you need one.

Agreed on the bias for gold and silver. It's just that there is this modern rarity geek inside me that pulls me in other directions. The beauty of numismatics.
I traded several Mercury dimes for "w" minted quarters , too. I got problems.

There is no telling how many 2009-D Duke Ellington DDR quarters passed through people's hands.

It's a hubbing error and an outstanding doubled die!
