Not special. Not a DDR.
Let's agree to disagree. It's a never before noticed DDR.

Welcome to the NGC chat board.
I don't think that your 1971 quarter exhibits a doubled die reverse. The image below the branch, though interesting, is too shallow and localized. I also note shallow, shelf-like doubling on some of the lettering, which is likely either strike doubling or doubling that originated in the master hub that was used to make some 1971 quarter reverse dies. It doesn't match any variety listed on NGC VarietyPlus, doubleddie.com, or Variety Vista. See Washington Quarters (1932-1998) | VarietyPlus® | NGC (ngccoin.com), https://www.doubleddie.com/2019558.html, http://www.varietyvista.com/09b WQ Vol 2/DDRs 1971.htm for known varieties. See also Double Dies vs. Machine Doubling | NGC (ngccoin.com).
Thank you for your kind welcome. I disagree that it's too shallow and localized. It's on a portion of the stem, just like the doubling behind the sheep's neck on the Denali quarter.

I'm curious as to what makes you say it isn't when it very well could be one. It is very obviously raised and rounded,not flattened. The doubling also resembles that on the South Dakota DDR or even the 2012 Denali quarter.
Granted the doubling on those coins is towards the middle of the coin, it's still obvious that it's not impossible to show up on other areas of a coin. I'd like to know if anyone has found something similar in their own collections, that they may have otherwise overlooked because they only focused on the doubled dies that had already been listed. I've visited all the sites listed above already. I've also made discoveries on coins, which I kept and stored before they were listed on those sites because I knew what I'd found then too.

Hello Everyone! I hope my inquiry finds you well. Has anyone else found doubled dies like this 1971 Washington quarter?
I've examined enough doubled dies to be fairly confident that's what this is.
If I were to list it via an Ebay auction as a rare variety quarter, what would you start the bidding at if you were in my position?
I know it's not the most appealing specimen, but surely still an interesting one to chat about. Thank you for your time and attention!
