I think I'm about to throw in the towel on this one ... Lol

Thus far there's not one shred of evidence suggesting it's "fake", but if so confident you're seeing "the raised doubling and Doubled letters all over the coin no matter wherei look", why not simply send it to Mr. Wexler, as has been repeatedly suggested? This way you'll get expert and very respected eyes on the actual coin as opposed to photos, and will get as close to a definitive answer as is possible.

Between his very modest fee and shipping, you may be looking at a whopping $10-$12 or so. Seems like the obvious solution, but sure, "throwing in the towel" would work too.

 

There's nothing going on with the obverse .
just take some images of the reverse, all outer devices .

 

I know this is none of my business, but OP, how long have you been collecting, or doing varieties ?

 

I'll send it to him . I don't mind spending the change . And thanks for the advice

 

Im certainly no Wayne gretzky or no Quincy Adams but Ive only been in the coin trade for about 2 years now .

 

Ok, just curious ..

 

My family think that I have some kind of bad addiction because all I do is look at coins and before I know it the entire day is gone ... And I hate to admit it but I'm starting to think that they may be right . Infact i even hold up lines in grocery stores gas stations you name it . The second that I'm handed change I'm literally pulling out my phone in public or a magnifier to examine it for errors . Like I think i got it really really bad and I probably need to talk to someone on one of those 1- 800 - hotlines . Lol

 

My wife gave up on me . Lol ..
But my boys are very happy, they know dad will leave them some nice coins in the end .

 

Thats bad Rick . Lol .... My girl says that Im not doing anything but hording them like an addict since I've never sold any. Infact I think that my collection probably weighs the same amount as a backpack full of school books now . Lol

My first 4 priorities
Children
Coin collecting
Cooking/cleaning
and Fishing.

Work is just a facet of life!

 

It sounds like we have a lot in common except I haven't been fishing in forever . And so I'm long over due for a large mouth bass ... Lol

 

Hey fellas not to get off subject here ... But I have a quick question . Does anyone know if the Doubled line on the parrots beak of the 2012 Puerto Rico Washington Quarter is like that on every quarter or is it some form of doubling ?

 

That's strike doubling ..

 

Can you post in Full image from here on out?
So, much easier.

 

Oh ok ... Just checking thanks . Couldn't find a match .

 

Oh and I'll be sure to send full photos too ...

 

Judging from the various coins you've posted, I think you'd be well served by reading up on the minting process in general, but pay specific attention the differences between the classic method of die production and the present "single squeeze" method. Technically, modern coins produced using the single squeeze method are not "doubled dies" even though widely accepted as such. The greater point is that understanding the difference between the two processes can be very helpful when trying to identify varieties.

 

Here's a few photos of those outside devices Rick ...
