Not a doubled die but doubling caused from a worn die.

This can be quite common on the CnClad Washington's where the US Mint used the heck out of them.

Gimme a clue

It is nice that someone might give an opinion or declaration of what has occurred to a coin. HOWEVER, is there ANYONE who has the gumption to describe the characteristics that prove this is a deteriated die or worn die. I displayed another quarter just before this one and that one was also declared a deteriated or worn die. But NO indication or discussion of what characteristics show this is a worn die.. It MAY be clear as a bell to you experts, but I need some clarification as to what one should be looking for that shows without any doubt that this is a deteriated die rather than a doubled die.

It is kindof like......give a man a fish and he eats for a day......teach the man how to fish and he can feed himself indefinitely. Teach a coin collector what characteristics to look for and the coin collector learns and does not have to keep posting similar coins.

Merlin this is something that is not learned overnight but keep trying and you should be able to know a real doubled die when you find one before long.
