Did I cherrypick this Washington?

Bought this off of eBay from a forum member. Nice coin, and I bought it for the eye appeal which I like. Question though, does anybody else see doubling on the motto or am I crazy? Lighting, maybe? I don't have any of the guides for the Washington series, are any varieties known for this date?

(EDIT: Have the coin in-hand, and yes definitely it was an imaging artifact.)

That's what I figured judging from the shadows on the left edge of the portrait.

Wexler and Flynn's "The Best of the Doubled Die Varities" for Washington quarters does not list a DD obverse or reverse for 1955. Neither does the www.conecaonline.org, the variety collectors bible. That is one nice looking quarter though!

I look at a LOT of quarters everyday and can you believe, this is still like uncharted waters? I have seen quite a few pieces that exhibit very strong doubling on both the Obverse mottos and reverses.

I recall Spadone making a passing referance to this years ago, late 70s, if you can get a copy of his variety book, an excellent work.
