<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Steve Shupe, post: 8142672, member: 114551&quot;]The Kentucky quarter is scratched, so not an error, but damaged in circulation.&nbsp; A die is used to strike or press the image into the coin. When a die cracks during use, the result is a raised line on the coin as the metal of the coin blank is pressed into the crack of the die, thus causing a raised line on the coin (finished product).</p><p>&nbsp;A doubled die coin has the doubled item at a similar height on the coin. There is machine doubling that looks similar to a doubled die struck coin but has a height difference (one image high and one low) of the items. It has a shelf like appearance to it. Machine doubling is common and has no premium.&nbsp; Look at pictures of a 1955 doubled die cent to understand what a doubled die coin looks like.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
