I have been looking for an Indian Head quarter eagle doubled die. Has anyone ever come across one?
If so, do you have any pictures?

Never heard of one
But you have heard of doubled die varieties in every other denomination. Correct?

I do not recall seeing one on the forum.... and a quick search did not turn up any. Cheers, RickO
Never seen or heard of a $2 1/2 or $5 Indian doubled die but I’ve seen a few counterfeits of each denomination that were “double struck” closely overlapped that looked like a doubled die coin
Here is the theory...
People are used to looking for your typical doubled die. Split serifs, etc...
But Indian quarter eagles are incused. It is as if the coin was struck with a hub, not a die. So, doubling will not have split serifs. Doubling will look like your typical description of "machine doubling." Flat, shelflike, etc...
Something we have all been trained to ignore...

why wouldn't there be split serifs? they'd just be inside instead of out, no?

there are several but this is a pretty wonderful excerpt:
The 1971 Eisenhower dollars are a prime source for examples of doubled working hubs. The Wexler Doubled Die Files once had 104 listings for obverse doubled dies on the 1971-S Eisenhower dollars, but some keen detective work by die variety specialist Brian Allen whittled the number down to 16 obverse doubled die varieties with the rest of the varieties being specimens of one of eight different doubled working hubs now known for the obverse of the 1971 Eisenhow dollars
