I haven't came across to many Philadelphia Eleanor Roosevelt Quarters in my area. Mainly Denver Quarters. So this quarter is quite nee to me. Is this very common on Philadelphia? Help appreciated!
Can't be Doubled Die. The Die was created using the single squeeze method. There are no current Doubled Die varieties especially on a 2023 Quarter. That's Die Deterioration doubling. Just worthless doubling. Flat and shelflike.
This looks reminiscent of Class VIII hub doubling which can be produced from single-squeeze die production. It is known as “Tilted Hub Doubling”. It is manifested as Washington Quarter doubled earlobes, Colorado doubled trees, Denali Bighorn Sheep (back of the neck) and Wyoming saddlehorn varieties. The doubling is centralized on most coins produced by Class VIII hubs and, to me, is minor doubling but hundreds of varieties have been produced, and this one may be a new one. @paddyman98 …the first 7 classes of doubling are related to multiple-squeeze hubbings. From what I have read, only Class VIII has been attributed to the single-squeeze hubbings. Now, I can picture you rolling your eyes over splitting hairs maybe, but it is actually true.

I'm in the Philly suburbs and I've seen quite a few of these newer quarters. I've been looking every one of them over and haven't seen a single thing stand out to me as extraordinary or such.
If it is the LT in Roosevelt then that area is raised like a normal device. The area below is incuse. It seems too far from the central devices. I would go with DDD. But keep it and an eye out for others that are alike, or have more extensive doubling.
