RPM's?

I'm new to coin collecting which I'm sure you can tell from this post. Anyhow, I have a roll of BU 64d washies I picked up not long ago from a member here. I was trying to find type B or C from a post I saw here, No luck. Seems almost the full roll has some type of doubling on the MM. Here are photos. Are these RPM? If so are they worth anything over melt? What is the point of RPM's? Why or how were they made? These are the best pics I could come up with, I only shot 3 diff coins. Thanks for any help.

Oh yeah, The coin on the end was really toned. Do all toned coins bring a premium or just the pretty ones? Pic included image. Sorry for the pics, I only have a $60 cam and I'm not very good with it.

    O, I did do a search before posting but didn't find anything I found that would help me.

    No, no, and no.

    All three are machine doubling. The same doubling is visible in the denomination "Quarter Dollar" - since mintmarks and the rest of the design are placed into the die during completely separate processes, any doubling on one will be completely unrelated to any doubling anywhere else. So, if both are doubled the same - it definitely happened during the strike, which is machine doubling. It's very common and has no value.

    I see, Thank you. I didn't even notice the other doubling.

    Maybe RPM 2 or 6. I don't follow the series, so I'm not sure.

    Well gosh, since the OP's coins are Machine Doubling and we've strayed completey away from Washington Quarters, I might as well post my IKE RPMs:

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
