Where are you seeing the doubling? I see no doubling on the obverse and the MM looks MD to me.The reverse looks normal to me.Can you point out what you see? John1  |

MD. Flat, shelf-like. Can be seen on the date.

The mintmark may be shelf like but it is shelf like on both leading and trailing edges. Die Deterioration might do that but not MD. |

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.
