2001 Rhode Island Quarter doubling

I found a Rhode Island Quarter that shows doubling of the profile from the top of the forehead to the chin. The doubling doesn't have the flat appearance of strike doubling, but unlike the true doubled dies it seems to show a disconnect of the profile from the field at the nose. I would like a few opinions on this coin whether die crack, deteriorated die or is it a DDO. This is my first attempt to upload pictures on this site. Sorry for the repeated pictures.

That's pretty cool, I am new here and have some coins I was wondering about myself, you seem really knowledgeable!

 

I found a 2007 quarter the picture I hope speaks for itself self??

 

Thanks. In this hobby there is always something new to learn. I passed off a 2014 nickel as an "ugly strike" only to find out it was the first known US coin to have design creep.I found out about a month too late.

 

I am looking forward to seeing the pics

 

Well... either I continue figure this out or it won't let me upload any pics from my device that I took of my coins

 

It took me a while to figure it out.

 

Oh that's to bad! Thats the kind of stuff that always happens to me! I am sorry..

 

Hmmmmm.. well.. I will try to see why it's not letting me.

 

Welcome to CT, Buff.
Your coin is not a true doubled die, but a good example of machine doubling. It's common and adds no numismatic value to the coin.
A good little article on the difference http://www.error-ref.com/machine-doubling/

 

Thanks for the link. I still wonder about the nose area because it has so much distance from where the design elements should be. Maybe a cracked or deteriorated die?

 

Nope. If it were a cracked die, you'd be able to see it.

 

Thanks for the info.
