Just as rare as the 2017 walker lol (not mine) I would keep the quarter anyway just as a reference in the future
Didn't realize that machine doubling could be on both sides of the letters like the L & U of pluribus and the 2nd U in unum. And it looks like the N in "unum" appears to be split guess I didn't know MD would split letters. Learn something new everyday. Tis a keeper none the less.
Machine Doubling is NOT the major feature of this coin. What you are seeing is actually called Die Deterioration Doubling which is what causes the ghosting of the letters on the outer edges. I I've seen this before on Washington Quarters and in the same location. It looks pretty cool but it has no premiums associated with it. I'll see if I can dig up a picture I took of one.
Found it. A 1984-D What happens is that the longer the die is in use the more worn the edges of the incused features of the die become. These "rounded edges" create what appears to be a letter within a letter or doubling to the novice numismatist.
Sorry to hi-jack the thread on the op but this is the detailed response that answers my question. Thank you 19 Lyds.
