MD is unique, but not valuable. It's an artifact of the striking process and totally uncontrollable.

A doubled die is an error made during the manufacture of the die. It is not unique - every coin struck by that die will exhibit the doubling. Except for exceptional cases, it is not valuable either.

What looked like damage on your coin, was just the cello making the coin look like it was damage. Just the cello cause me to think that. Even from that close the big DDO would stand out like a sore thumb. Note the full size image to show what to look for on a DDO:

The doubling you are seeing is doubling from the light.
