1974 die shift error
1974 die shift error
found that there was some doubling in a couple different spots on a 1974 quarter crown, forhead, most of the lettering. Another 1974(not shown) has doubling below the chin and at the back of the queens head, less along the lettering.

Re: 1974 die shift error
Without seeing it in hand, I'd say machine/mechanical doubling. In the nanosecond after the die strikes, it slightly moves as the die retreats from the planchet. It is corrected by tightening up the holder/keeper that holds the die in place. Pretty common on old Vicky large cents, but new presses may be a little different.

Looks like Machine Doubling to me.
Not really considered an error as it is
part of the minting process.

Not a weak strike, coin has been damaged after it was struck, known as PMD (Post Minting Damage)
