Hey all! Some of you may have noticed I came home with some coins today. I wanted to post these pics of some doubling I see on the coin.

I see very obvious doubling under the tip of the 2 and the 9. Obvious doubling on the ERTY with what seems to be moderate doubling on the other letters.

Another Machine Double I assume?

Thanks!

That's pretty distinct on the RTY and am I seeing it beneath Liberty's wings as well?

Does look like Machine Doubling, though.

Yeah, I'm better with pennies. The tarnish on the coin is obstructing a good photo of the date... I'm gonna keep working on this.


Edit:
This is not the 42 over 41, just a monster MD I suppose.

I see a bit of Machine Doubling (usually not valuable) on the RTY. Don't see anything particularly unusual about the date.

Machine doubling.
The flat shelf gives it away. True double dies would have split serifs.
