I found this 1932-Small D/Large D Washington 25c

I cannot find this easily seen RPM listed. It looks like a small strong D/a large weak D!

What do you guys think?

What's the rest of the coin look like ? Looks like ejection doubling to me .

 

I can't find one either. Could it be the head of the punch that surrounds the D that slightly incused the die as the punch was administered?

 

Ejection Doubling? Why is the little D over the big D? Here is the edge:

 

I think I meant Machine doubling .

 

Isn't that the footprint of an Apollo Astronaut?

 

It looks like Die Deterioration Doubling to me. How about giving us a pic of the whole reverse?

 

Ok , I accept that sir .

 

@paddyman98 , your expert opinion?

If you can't find it , most likely it doesn't exist .

 

Ejection doubling and machine doubling are the same but why is my coin machine doubled and not an RPM?

 

Die erosion around the mint mark.

Just like my backyard after a heavy rain . . . .

This is DDD. Evident by the flow lines and the ghosting of the lower wreath stems.

 

ok die deterioration doubling ? There's so darn many ,

 

Little D over glue used to fasten the little D.

 

Just a thought here. Not any claim to be an expert opinion.

That said, the 1932 Washington Quarter has basically melt value in lower grade condition. Is it possible someone took a '32 no mint mark and struck their own D mm to give it rarity value?

 

I like Messydesk's answer.

 

ANSWER: This is an extreme case of ejection doubling. The characteristic is common on 1932-D 25c coins. I first learned of "Ejection Doubling" from Mint technicians when one expert authenticator at the time was gathering up these genuine coins from dealers for the OIN counterfeit collection. He thought they were added mintmarks.
Most examples are not this spread. The action of shifting the metal often leaves a "seam-like" cut at the base of on side of the mintmark that makes it look to be unattached to the coins surface. Thus, it looks to be added and fooled many folks. in the 1970's.

 

Lots of thing fooled people in the '70s , Man ! It was a trippy time period for all of us.
