I know at first it is sometimes hard to distinguish between MD and DD. It took a while for me to catch on until one day it finally clicked and I have had no problem ever since. Here is a little chart I put together for someone on another Forum.  It is pretty basic.

Thanks for the reverse picture. Makes it much easier.
Too me it looks like a counterfeit 1818 Coronet Head Large Cent.

Welcome to the Forum
Looks like it has been modified.
Please show the reverse as well. ( This should be standard when making inquires)

Welcome to the Chat Box
Terminology correction- It is called a Doubled Die, also referred to as DD.
Don’t really see any DD, certainly not worth spending about $50.00 on getting it graded

It looks like it ha Split Plate Doubling around the edge which would make it a zinc cent.

Out of curiosity, why do you think it is worth getting graded. 
It would cost you over $50.00 for a 3 cent coin.

I would say no. The Die Clash is more prominent than what your quarter shows.

A newer token issued in 1975 to commemorate the death of Jimmy Sibbeston, guide and hunter who died in 1974 at the age of 103.He was the oldest resident of Hay River NWT  at the time of his death.

That is what is known as a Texas Coin. That is not aluminum, that is the zinc core that has had the copper plating removed. It is intentionally done and has no added value.

Not an error, it’s called Pareidolia, seeing something that’s not there.

Listing has NOT been removed. It is still up.
Have reported it to eBay, should hopefully be gone by this afternoon.

I was just going to say basically the same thing as Oldhoopster. Do not treat it as an error first, treat it as damage and then see if there is anything that would warrant it being an error. As there is no way that could happen during the striking of the coin, the alternative is PMD.
You may never find out exactly how it happened unless you were there but it doesn’t really matter, damage is damage.

There is a mint tolerance of  +- .19 g on nickels so your nickel is underweight by .01g

No No No.  Not possible.

I have shown this chart before but will show it again.
Copy this and you will know at a glance what to look for.
As you can see, there are only 4 different years you have to look for.

Thanks Coinbuf, don’t know where “quarter” came from. I guess  I can’t blame this on spellcheck.

For future reference, it can only be an error if it happens during the actual striking of the coin so ask yourself, how could anything of what you see on your coin happen at that time. The obvious answer is that there isn’t anything so the alternative is  PMD, no matter how it happened.
