If they are, the coin has been damaged from another coin.

The problem is the photos are not as clear as we would like. When you say the "9" is not flat, do you mean that both images are the same height above the plane?
Another problem I have run into here is that a coin can have both a real Doubled Die, and MD. But; once most of the viewers see any MD they declare the whole thing MD.
I'm not saying one way or the other on this one as the pics are just not clear enough one way or the other.

HOW OFTEN IS THE DOUBLING EXHIBITED ON BOTH SIDES IF you LOOK AT THE SECOND IMAGE OF THE DATE YOU CAN PLAINLY SEE THAT THIS IS CURVED AND NOT FLAT AT ALL AND NOT JUST THE 8 BUT THE NINE AND THE 5

MD is shown on both sides a lot of the time, this is MD, not a doubled die, like so many of us have told you.

u know I realize that you fellows are right I just keep asking questions because I'm like a kid and those same questions are going to be asked of me when I'm trying to buy or sell a coin (I own a pawn shop and have very little knowledge in the matter most of what I know I've learned from COOP here) most times I'm convinced but the person with me looking at your comments are not, so if you are going to comment in one of my post be polite. COOP TRUST ME WHEN I TELL YOU I'm NOT DOUBTING YOU but how does that happen.

I don't understand, no body on here was rude to you, where do you get the feeling that we were rude?

Here are a couple of examples that will show you what to look for: This pic shows the sheared secondary devices that is common with Machine Doubling. This is the same as on the coin that you posted. Flat and shelf-like. This doubling is the result of chatter from a loose die: This pic shows a doubled die. Notice that the secondary devices are the same height as the primary devices: Edited by ikandiggit

no its just that I see all kinds of pictures and to be honest some look like what I'm seeing, so I like to ask about all and everything I'm seeing mainly because I use a printer to see the coins and the same coin looks different in every angle so I really want to make sure I'm not buying a bad coin  or missing out on a good one  |
