Is this an RPM on my Washington Quarter?

Seeing no signs of mechanical/machine doubling anywhere else, I'd say yes it is.

Being a Washie guy, looks like it to me....and is that a NEW 2.1 you got there???? Man, I'm going to have to start really looking for these so you don't get them ALL, then I can sell them to you for a bigger premium!!!

Looks like a nice rpm to me, good eye.

Sorry, but it looks like machine doubling. It can manifest itself on the mint mark but not the design because the mint mark rises out of the field at a very sharp angle, while the adjacent designs all slope up out of the field at relatively shallow angles. Get a bit of sideways displacement of the die as it is pulling away from the just-struck coin, and the edge of the mint mark hole in the die can kiss the side of the mint mark while the edge of the hole that forms the wreath stem will miss the shallow wreath stem.

Dang...no Numismatist of the Year award for me.

I agree that the appearance of the MM looks like machine doubling, but convinced myself otherwise absent visible doubling on other devices.

I would vote yes.

I've been spending too much time with my face in the wrong books, lately, I guess (meaning SCHOOL books....minds out of the gutter).

Washington quarters are especially noted for this effect.

Interesting, I didn't know that! Thanks! Doesn't matter anyways, I'm just happy to add a new 2.1 to my hoard!

Interesting... I would like to see other pictures with different lighting, although likely machine doubling. Cheers, RickO

It's all packed up for CAC already, but I'll take more shots when I get it back!
