1999 P Connecticut Quarter, Double Strike?

It's a double strike o something else?

Looks like strike doubling (aka, machine doubling) to me. This happens when the coin is struck (struck once) and the hammer die (in this case, the obverse die) "chatters" just after the strike. This chattering shears off a bit of the just-struck design creating a shelf where the design was sheared off.

 

Definitely not a double strike.

 

Does look doubled...And circulated! lol

 

Hi,

That's what they look like when the die is near the end of its life. That's all the effects of die deterioration and circulation. There is no evidence of a double strike.
Thanks,
Bill

Carlos, see my posts "looking to hard at the wrong" coin for help.

 

Looks like as mentioned before, machine doubling

 

Looks like machine doubling to me

 

Somebody knows why the double in CHARTER is pointing up-right, and the doubling in 1999 is pointing up-left?

 

Carlos it does not matter - learn to listen please?

On a coin if you see minuscule doubling and then we look at it and give you are collective opinions it just does not matter anymore.
We really will tell you when you find something that is a die variety.
Please get the "The Error Coin Encyclopedia" and "The Cherry Pickers Guild" - please???

 

Peters, I'll buy those two books you're talking about. I asked again because I like to learn as much I can. beside the doubling on both faces, and beside the doubling in both directions; about this quarter, called my attention the fact of the weight 5.8G; but now I know this si normal since the top tolerance is 5.897G Thank again for your help.

 

You get those books and they will answer more,

You get those books and they will answer more question's for you in one year than we could in 2 live times.
You certainly can ask about anything you want to on here but when you get your answer you have a choice, heed the advice or arm yourself with more appropriate prior knowledge so you then have the skills needed to challenge us with further questions - we would welcome the latter we tire of questions that are asking the exact same thing over and over again.
For example - if you ask "what is this doubling on this common coin"? That's a question that begs a very simple and general answer. That's all it requires but if you were to ask,
Ok I got the 1951 D/D Lincoln Cent but I think it is the OMM and not a RPM but I'm not sure, "what are the die marking for that variety"?
With the above question you answer commands a precise consideration that in knowing, "this guy is doing the work" and will generate a much more thought out and informative response.
Hope this helps you,

 

Hi Carlos,

The machine doubling is exactly where it would be if the die took a slight twist in a clockwise direction.

You have to take into consideration the position of the details on a die. A little rotation of a die during a strike when the die is a little loose will produce machine doubling that looks like this.

Also, the doubling on UNITED is mostly due to die deterioration so that doubling appears different than the machine doubling caused by motion of the die during the strike.

Some of the doubling on the date and "CHARTER" is also due to die deterioration.

The end result is that there is no die doubling or evidence of a double strike and basically, once they are ruled out nothing else matters. That is with the exception of the education that can be taken once you accept that the coin is common.

Asking questions to gain knowledge is great. Asking questions to try to prove that something is what it isn't is a different aim but sometimes that pays off too.

After two or three rounds of the same answers though, we usually have it figured out

Thanks,
Bill

 

Petter; I bought all ready The cherry picker's guide from 1/2 cent to Nickels. Now I got to find the other (from dime to dollar). Any body has any idea from where this Xtra Eye is coming from?

 

What extra eye? I don't see anything.

 

I don't see anything either.

 

It's where the three closed arrows meet together.

 

Carlos, Carlos why are we still talking about this coin?

There ain't no eye and there ain't no doubling worth anything so why are we still looking at this? This quarter should be spent already to help our econmy. Please move on - or better yet let me send you some real errors so you can look at something that does mean something for awhile.
Send me a PM with your address and I will send you a couple of real doublED dies, please.

 

Petters, Sorry, I don't know how put private messages; my address is CarlosArriaga4@hotmail.com please for the very last time see at the 4th image in the first page, close to Washington is eye in the upper side; there is very clear the other one. I will no talk about this one anymore any way.

 

I do not want to or need to look at this quarter it,

I do not want to or need to look at this quarter it depresses me.
To send a PM just click on my name/title and it will pull down "send an email" to that person. If you give me your mailing address I will send you an true RPM, a doubled die, and an error.
