The top looks like is a 1909P-1DO-001 would need to see whole coin.. as that's how you can tell on that coin the difference ....note that this is one the only coins besides maybe 1935P-1DO-001 that looks like that and is not Strike Doubling. Which I assume is why you picked it... but like the Strike Doubled which are very popular on the 1969-s, it will show flat doubling in varying locations, directions and strengths on the coin will look very simular.. These areas of doubling may be in similar or even the same locations as the genuine Doubled Die But they do not show or have the well-rounded, overlapping, raised secondary images you see on the Doubled Die. btw Stike Doubling is same as "mechanical doubling," " Machine Doubling damage," "shelf doubling," Etc.. the bottom like notice how "mushy" the doubling numbers are in appearance this is either a very late stage die with MD or Die Deterioration...but either way not a DDO

OcalaFlorida you are amazing!!! First, thanks for chiming in and your expertise. You are correct. I should post the pics of the "liberty", it too is not exactly clear to me. I'll do that.

Far from amazing I am still newbie only 5 months collecting almost 6. I would of said MD also.. but I have 1909P-1DO-001 its my first coin in my almost date complete error and variety album. I also assume John1 and most others would of said DDO if you showed more then the first two numbers of 1909....because it could of just as easily have been a 1969 with MD

I am not as familiar with the LWC DDO / DDR and in all honesty would have toss both of the 09's shown on CC's site if I found them roll searching  ,001 looks flat and shelf like to me. John1

John1, I think we are on the same page, I'd said MDD to both even after looking at the Liberty. Nice to not feel alone in this matter. I'll just keep throwing posts up and see what I learn. Just broke into 3 more 68 and 69 rolls...hope I'm not annoying anyone with too many posts. 😬

Coop, (Cause I figured you'd look back at this post) what is your opinion of the layers on my 8 from my Edvard Munch the "scream" post? Is that Die wear? It's really layered with an even odder top to it. It has an effect like something melting. Curious. Not a double die or quadruple die? Just kidding 😊 I assume Machine Doubling with die wear, but why are the other characters not affected the same? I mean they are with layering but the 8 stands out alone. What do you think? Is it a one of a kind.? BTW, I'm labeling my coins as: the scream, scare face, back side of the moon, etc...it'll be confusing when I eventually sell them off.  Extra red arrow is an error.

Coop, Another question, Are there double dies that don't exhibit the crease or separation? Your response earlier [ "Note the difference between Machine Doubling and hub doubling. The hub doubling is enlarged/widened/taller. Machine Doubling reduces the size of the devices." ]...it made me think of something I recalled seeing and a coin I recently posted. The 1969 S was used in an example by J.T. Stanton...the PDF paper was to help collectors identify differences DD and MDing. Here is his photo of GOD on the 69 S:  Without the creases it looks very similar to a coin I posted, just recently, of a strange GOD...looking at the two, and if you can ignor the creases, they are very similar.

Note on your example the overall size looks altered? There was a slight amount of grease in the die when this coin was struck making the devices look wider and the angled bottom edge of the devices show machine damage on that area. If you look closer, you might even see metal striation on this lower edge. This happens when the die move making a lined area where this happens.  But your coin's die was normal, but with MD and grease it made the coin look different. The 8 is also machine damage during the strike. (Don't know for sure if these images are from the same coin, but it is best to use one coin per thread to avoid confusion and the thread title of the coin would make it easier to search.)
