2017 P Ellis Island Quarter doubling?

  1. Look at Washington's nose. I have two of these Quarters. As you know I'm new at this and I'm excited about this possible find. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you 20171130_104740.jpg 20171130_104751.jpg

    Let me say welcome aboard. Understand your new thought I give you a hand. If it is all possible, could you get a close-up.? I want to compare with the one that I put up for you.

    I understand your new but now what else do you see beside the nose.

  6. I know both are circulated due to the amount of marks on them. I see the area around the nose and the front of the bust that I was talking about. Other than that I'm not quite sure what else. Thank you for your reply.

    I don't want to shatter your hopes on this, but it appears to be machine doubling, not an error or a doubled die. I have looked through thousands of State & ATB quarters and this is present on many of them, especially from lack of maintenance of dies in Philly. It is often caused by loose parts that need adjustment, therefore not an error. But a good learning tool should you find others that look similar.

  8. OK cool. Thanks a lot for the information. I really appreciate you tutoring me on the coins that I've posted. It's still pretty cool to me and both Quarters are already part of my collection.
