Sold after just three days on the bay.

 

I recently purchased a 1917 type 1 liberty quarter and upon inspection with my loop, the reverse writing is doubled, also the stars ,,to the west. Will this be recognized by PCGS , and what is the doubling called?

the CPG has a DDR listed for the 1917-D type 1. Do you have a photo that shows the doubling? You might consider starting a new thread on the topic.

 

As I remember, my discovery was published in Coin World in the 1980's. POP was the letters of EPU between the wings on the reverse.

MS-64, nice coin.

 

Thank you for your response. I am new to the family, I have to figure out how to start a new thread. TY

 

Welcome to Coin Talk! I believe what you have is an example of strike or machine doubling, which is pretty common and not a doubled die. It is caused by vibration of the die as the coin is struck. No extra value attached. The secondary image has a flat, shelf like look, sometimes affects all the letters on one side, and can be pretty dramatic and interesting as such.

 

Thank you very much. No matter how many times I see the difference between machine doubling and a double die, I still don't get it...lol
