Now that you've told all of us what you have discovered, why not post a picture? I'm sure there are dozens of members here who can ID a double die coin.
i think any DD expert could help here
Is it this one?

My quarter is not the DDR002 shown in Variety Vista.
I will try to take photos of the reverse of the coin that show the doubling. If I can take photos with sufficient clarity and focus (that clearly shows the doubling) I will post them to this thread.
Thank you to those who have replied to my OP.
You might have a new discovery, if it is not machine doubling.

I previously looked at the Variety Vista page you linked above. I also sent to Mr. Wiles an email asking if he would agree to review my coin. To date I have not received a response from him (Should I just mail the coin to him with a letter, without first receiving a reply email from him?).
In my email I gave a narrative description of my quarter (to date I have been unable to take adequately focused cell phone photos of my quarter). My narrative description of the quarter in my email to Mr. Wiles is:

you could mail a letter asking if he still takes attribution subs
If you don't hear back from Dr. Wiles you can go to the Coneca website and submit photos for their attribution/examination service. You can also try doubleddie.com
There's also crdievarieties.com
In the time it took you to write what you see, posting an image would have gotten you a quick answer.
Sanction is a knowledgeable and well regarded poster who has been here for 20+ years and has well established bona fides, not some rando with a parking lot find.
You are a joke who has been a net negative in value added in your short time here, whether under this handle or a previous alt.
Slow your roll, you're out of line.

Your comment is not accurate (getting a quick answer about what variety the coin may be is unlikely). What's up with your posted emoji?
I have taken cell phone photos of the coin. They are not good enough to post (they lack sharp focus). Posting those photos would be pointless.
At this time my long narrative is the best I can do (to describe the coin's features).
Some people have no interest in reading more than a sentence or two (if that). So people do like to read. To each their own.
