2017 Quarter doubled die on E & P?

Wow, looks round...looks notched...let's see what the gurus say.

 

That's what Incused lettering looks
like when it has ejection/mechanical
doubling, imo.

If it were a Doubled Die, with that
amount of 'spread', you'd see other
design elements doubled like that.

I'm fairly certain, even without a closer
photo, that there are no Raised design
elements that are doubled, or if they are,
they look like mechanical doubling.

Do you see any other design portions doubled?

 

How about on the bottom of the P? Close to the bottom of the P on the left side?

 

I think the idea is that if it is a true doubled die, many elements should show the doubling. Check out the infamous 1955 DD Lincoln.

 

The letters are just distorted from the strike.

 

How about the S

 

Hmmm last picture for sure looks like machine doubling, notice how its shelf-like?

 

Remember you're looking at incuse lettering, not the usual raised lettering.

 

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the info.

 

Oh yes, my bad.

 

still, very interesting.

 

This may help explain incuse machine doubling. There is also an image of an Olympia National Park quarter with fairly extreme incuse machine doubling.
