Follow up to 1972 Quarter...

Is this the serif interruption I needed to find?

Are you referring to a "Split Serif"? This isn't a quarter, but it is a good example of Split Serifs.

I say no.. Everything looks Flat and Shelf like.. so it is just Mechanical Doubling. Worthless doubling.

 

With the line all the way down it remind me of this example I saw is why I was asking

 

Hey now, I didn't give you permission to use my '64 proof Kennedy for illustrative purposes

 

Ok. Square peg as they say. Thanks!!

 

Okay, a doubled die occurs when a second strike from the working hub is not aligned properly with the working die. As a result, the secondary doubling appears to have the same rounded appearance. Note in the example you posted of a true doubled die, that is the case, but in the photos of your coin, the secondary image is "flat and shelf-like".

So, sue me! And, when I win in court, I'll demand triple damages for reparations.

PS. I almost forgot to tell you. Those images are from my 1966 SMS. FS-103.

 

3x nothing is still squadoosh . And I think mine is actually a 65 or 66 also . That was what popped into my head at the moment

 

Looks MD too me as it's too flat.
