Possible double die quarter?

   This is definitely not die doubling. It is most likely die deterioration doubling.

 Please see the following to learn about the differences between a coin struck from a doubled die and other types of doubling on coins that don't have collector value:

I see die deterioration doubling just one of the many worthless types of mechanical doubling, this type of doubling is interesting and trips up many collectors.   There is another thread with even more dramatic looking die deterioration here in the forum that a member has spent considerable money on grading fees to find it is just money gone.

This would be a great example of die deterioration doubling. Note how in the word QUARTER that the image is shifting below the primary image of the word quarter, and in the photo with IN GOD WE TRUST, that the image is shifting towards the right of the primary motto. This means the faux doubling is following the flow of metal of the strike towards the rim as we see in coins without this feature struck from overused dies where we can see the actual flow lines in the metal towards the rim.
