1965 quarter

1965 quarter has some doubling on the obverse but I don't think its a double die more like machine doubling. I looked at the example from PCGS coin facts double die variety for the 1965 quarter. I see around the forehead, nose,neck, lips, and lettering doubling but I'm thinking machine doubling or worn out die.







examples from pcgs coin facts I was using to compare:

    Your coin is definitely machine doubling. Very flat, shelf-like with no splits in the serifs.

    You're correct, Mechanical/machine doubling

    1965 quarters were produced in huge numbers, often from well worn dies.

    All glory is fleeting.

    I love finding MD coins - I have a 1921 peace dollar with some MD on the word “one”
    I learned that MD occurs when some screws become lose in the press and there is some ‘movement’ during the strike - isn’t that so cool?!!??
    Love the coin - love the date! First date that was no longer made of silver!

    Definitely machine doubling... no split serifs, which are obvious in the pictures from coin facts. Cheers, RickO
