Hi - New to the site and coin hunting, and am on the edge of my seat trying to confirm if my first major find is an actual/legit double die, worthless machine doubling... or maybe something else(?) Any thoughts/help would be appreciated, thanks!

Good eye, good photo, good first post. I hope it is what you believe it is.
Edited to add the OP’s photo.
Can we see a photo of the entire coin please.

Welcome to the forum!
Looks like machine doubling to me.
Forgive the low quality, had to use my cell since scope's not tall enough to fit a whole quarter.
2007 Wyoming Silver Proof...
If it were a doubling of the die there would be split serifs and there are none that I see. So, I'll say it is not a Double Die, but is machine, shelf doubling. Keep in mind that most proof coins are double struck as well.

I'm sure I'll be corrected on something but you might get the gist.
Some additional close-ups...
Would this be a type of die "Trails"? Displaced metal upon striking of the die? Hopefully, when all wake up someone will have the answer. Regardless, I like it. Found on Lincoln Cent Steps called wavy steps.

@LegalTendr... Welcome aboard. Superb pictures.... However, that is machine doubling.... Cheers, RickO
wow. that is pretty impressive on a proof coin. however, i'm with the others, looks like MD to me. saying that, i'd be hard-pressed to toss it base as at the very least, it is a good conversational piece.
i'd probably lean towards ejection doubling since parts of the devices are so shiny. kinda like they've been scraped or polished.
Thinking perhaps this was double struck with a very close rotation between strikes. Are proof coins still given multiple strikes as a matter of course? There are several error coin experts here who have yet to chime in, I am very curious what they might think.

I don't know enough bout the different types of doubling to venture an opinion on that aspect of it but I did just want to mention that your pictures are fantastic, ESPECIALLY for a proof! Nice work

Is this a DDO or MO
The doubling is only in date
Please start a new thread for your coins, it gets confusing when you piggyback onto another, however your 1958-D is not a DDO just common worthless machine doubling.

Thank you and sorry I'm new to this
@LegalTendr , your proof coin looks to have both machine doubling and some ejection doubling, does not look to be any sort of true die doubling to me. While not things that add value they are quite dramatic and a really nice conversation piece. However, your coin does look to have a nice strikethrough on the T of States which is a true error and is worth saving.

FYI: It is doubleD die
