Need help with a Washington Quarter!

[Deerefan8420]

I found this 1963-D Washington Quarter in one of the Mint sets I purchased a while back. I thought that it may have been an DDO/FS-101 to begin with, But it doesn't match up with the FS-101 designation as there is no obvious doubling on "Liberty". There appears to be some doubling on the date but I feel that there is something more going on with the Motto "In God We Trust". I am still learning about the different types of doubling and I think this may be a form of strike doubling but I am not sure. Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

 

There also appears to be something going on with the Mint Mark on the Reverse as well.

Sorry, but, but I think that looks like mechanical doubling (strike doubling.) Usually flat, shelf-like. Same with your mint mark.

Aye. Mechanical doubling.

 

Notice how the tops of IGWT look sheared off. On the mint mark, the secondary D is a bit smashed, and just a touch larger than the primary one. You'll probably also see similar doubling on other design elements near the mint mark. On pre-1989 coins, this is almost always a dead giveaway for strike doubling.

Thanks guys! That's what I was thinking. And since I'm not too familiar, yet, with all the different kinds of strike/machine doubling, I thought I would ask.
