I'm new to this forum so if I screw something up, someone please let me know. Thought I would see if anyone could tell me what happened to this 2007 silver proof montana quarter?

    I seem to be having a major malfunction getting a picture posted on this site. I'll work on that and try again.

    The coin moved a bit during the normal double-striking procedure. This is not rare on modern Proofs. I don't think it adds any value.

    All proof coins are double-struck. That one appears to have shifted just a tad between strikes.

    I reported something similar in this thread for the regular clad proofs. Mine were definitely machine or ejection doubling which is kinda weird for a proof since they are supposed to be hand fed. But whatever..............

    Jeez, look at al the pitting in the fields!

    Almost like sand was thrown across when it was struck.

    Judging by the top two pictures, the problem may have something to do with rust. image

    I think its invisible, probably a post-mint occurence

    I don't think the coin moved. More likely the die moved. Same effect though.

    I believe this is what Alan Herbert refers to as "flat field doubling". As others have stated, it's due to slight movement of the die between the multiple strikings that all proofs experience.
