    2020 Washington Quarter DDO?

    This is a 2020 Washington Quarter, is this a doubled die? You can see splitting on the letters and seriffs. It also has separation line within the letters and the "2nd image" is rounded just like the first. I have several photo but only included some. I can post more upon request. Thanks for taking a look!

    I don't think this is a DDO, but I will let others give their option. See this pic of my (Most Likely) DDO 2020 Quarter: (Notice the thickness in the letters, instead of a second image) May I ask which design your coin is?

          Nice find! (if you found it)! I think this coin exhibits machine doubling, see this link about how DDOs come about:

              Now that looks like a DDO. I am no professional, so I will let mustbebob give his opinion. But that definitely has some potential, you may have discovered the first doubled die on a West Point! (as far as I know) Know I have to check my W Weir quarters.

                It has possibilities, but I need to make sure it is not a lighting issue. Can you take a photo or 2 with the light coming from the opposite direction?

                    The lighting from that direction makes it look like MD, but the notching is puzzling to me. Let's see if any of the other attributers/pros have an opinion on this one.

                      These two pictures I took the light source and placed it horizontal to the coin. The red arrow shows the direction of the light. The purpose of doing this is to show that both sides of the words are rounded.

                        Here are some additional photos that show notching on other letters indicated by the red arrows. I have also included a photo to show the "extra thickness" on the privy mark.

                        I apologize for posting numerous photos. Im trying to show different angles and points of interest to help with the possible lighting issues.

                          I really appreciate you putting in the effort with additional photos. Unfortunately, I can not make the call on these. I will leave this here until another examiner can review them. Hopefully they can have better news.

                              Update: I have sent the quarter to John Wexler to inspect the coin. I will post his evaluation once I receive it. Thanks to all who has or review my coin!
