Hi is this 1976 Bicentennial a Double Die or Machine Doubling, thanks to who might know.

Hi is this Bicentennial a double die or machine doubling, thank you to who might know. And I am sorry this is the only picture I have right now.

Honestly, the lettering seems to have shifted to the left slightly during strike…flat and shelf-like doubling means it is classic mechanical/machine doubling (MD).

You have been a member now for almost 5 full years so you should know to go to Wexler to read, study and learn all about worthless doubling of many types.

From the only picture you gave us I can readily tell you the coin, if a Bicentennial Quarter as you claim, has advanced wear…less than XF40. And I can also confirm for you that these quarters begin to show added value at grade MS60, this straight from the NGC U.S. Coin Guide.

For most members this translates to these worn coins being spenders. There are exceptions, you could find from circulation an impaired proof version which were struck in silver…then the coin would be worth its weight in silver alone if significantly impaired.

yup, MD

 

Basically it’s MD.

 

Check out this 1972 penny with MD. It's cool to keep, but worthless. 2 cents at the most for copper value.

 

Certainly worth keeping. The 1972 Cent was doubled in the motto but I’m not seeing that here. A number of varieties exist for this date but its not the one you want.

 

I know. This one is just MD on the date. Would be so cool to find a doubled die on the motto! May the search continue. I always keep two unopened boxes of pennies on the side while I look through another one because soon, we will have a new currency and won't be able to get these anymore.
