2017 Effigy Mounds Quarter 1 1

[CommunicatorDan]

Hello everyone,

 

It is difficult sometimes to distinguish between a true DD and a machine DD. I understand that if ti looks like a step then it is machine DD.

This 2017 Effigy Mounds Quarter almost looks like it has separate serifs in the letters E PLURIBUS UNUM.

Thoughts?

Not any real notching, the incuse lettering on many of the states quarters are well known and have more pronounced MD.

That is Machine Doubling, very common on that series.

Coinbuf beat me again!
