I have had this quarter for decades. I do not remember how or when I acquired it. I have never seen any other 1968 D quarter with reverse doubling of any kind. I sent it to Flying Al and he photographed the coin for me (his photos are below).

His photos are excellent and they show doubling on the reverse on UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS, QUARTER DOLLAR, the edges of the eagle's right wing (on the left of the coin as it is viewed), the eagle's neck (on the left of the coin as it is viewed), on the top corner edge of the eagle's left wing (on the right of the coin as it is viewed) and on the edge of the leaf that is next to the leaf that is at the top left side of the branch (on the right of the coin as it is viewed).

IMO this is an interesting coin.

    I know that MD is not considered as collectible as DD, but I also find it interesting. Very nice coin, and great photos!

    Everything you see on the rev is the result of strike/mechanical doubling and die deterioration. Both of which can be extreme at times, unlike you I do not find this quarter to be very interesting.

    I see those on quarters, I assumed that they are die cracks.
