    Good day all.
    Recently i was going through mt pockets and discovered to have this 2000 quarter with strike doubling errors on the front side of the coin. most of the letters appear striked twice. ive been searching to ee if theres any quarter minted in this year to have any error only to find if its rare to this year or not.Apparently it may be rare because i have not found one. i would need your advice to fully recognize what i have. hopefully these images will help.
    Thank you

    There appears to be some die deterioration doubling going on, but that's all I'm seeing in the images. Die-deterioration doubling is very common.

    Die deterioration is very common for every coin, every year, and every mint. That's because every single die eventually starts to deteriorate. Remember that wear on the coin itself has nothing to do with it, because what you are seeing is "wear" on the dies that produced the coin.

    the letters and numbers are the first to wear out on the dies. the coin you have here is a normal quarter struck with a worn out die .
