My name is Dori.
I am new to coin collecting and was wondering if my 2016 D Kentucky state quarter is a triple die, machine doubling or mechanical error. And if none of the above, what would have caused it to appear like this.

Seems like a double die
Do you know that for sure cuz I sent it in to heritage auction and that guy is always telling me out of all the coins over the last year that I've sent him is really not what it appeared . Just like this coin
It is just what i see but i may be wrong. Maybe someone else knows
Who else can I ask
I’m still pretty new here and don’t really know. Try waiting to see if anyone else knows about it. Sorry I couldn’t of been more help
I don't think it triple or double die ,its simply a normal coin.American coins are heavily punched ,so it appear little 3d in picture.

To me looks like machine doubling
It is, what it is, or is it.
You need to send it to one of the certifying companies. Their opinion will be the final word in this issue. I can't imagine that the value would be that much as a "raw" coin. Unfortunately! :(
I dont see the notching on the corners of the letters/numbers that would indicate a doubled die.

Im seeing a double die. But I drink alot so maybe its just me. :8D
I see a double die, except for the last picture:



That indeed looks like a triple die (and I don't drink).
Double dies are fairly common errors with very little (if any) premium in most cases, so I certainly wouldn't send it to a certifying company and pay 40 - 50 dollars to put it in a plastic case. But of course, that's only my opinion.

Thanks for your opinion. But Why wouldn't it hold any value if it was doubled. I mean I know that there's certain years or coins that hold a much higher value but I haven't seen anything on this coin.
DDOs and TDOs have value to error collectors, but machine doubling happens much more often, thus it has no additional value. If you want a second opinion, I suggest you post your picture here:

Fred Weinberg is an expert on US error coins, and he usually comments on any thread with the word "error" in the title.

I would say that this is multiply striking and misaligned on letters which would be more important significant finds, I’m talking about more valuable than double dies alone. You shouldn’t listen to anyone because they don’t have one like yours and each of them have different negative opinions and some don’t make sense unless you go in to professional coin grading service to have them look at it. Ok I believe that your photo is a multiply strike with misaligned on letters.   If it is misaligned then it’s a double dies.  And then if it strikes more than three or four or more thats multiply striking. I don’t believe or listen to anyone if they says it bouncing off and label it machine doublings. That’s not true.   Machine doubling is a smooth shelflike that’s all. Nothing else.  Look for splitting serifs, notched corner, misaligned, and raised line….. those words don’t belong to machine doublings. “E” as E Pluribus Unum has a misaligned letter and other letter too. Then you have multiply strikings sorrounding The coin.

While I appreciate all new members, it is weird that one with a two week presence on the site would encourage you to ignore expert advice and disregard decades of combined experience.  On the off chance he is right, because you have sent it off to be graded and authenticated by a reputable source be sure and show us those pictures as well.  We often get criticized and questioned, and are rarely ever proven to have been wrong.

 

We welcome being proven wrong.
