MD is flat, correct? The doubling or tripling I'm seeing isn't flat. It's definitely raised and looks like 3 distinct serifs on the T's in UNITED and STATES... I've also match it up to the DDR-001, seems to match everywhere except for the T's. Where mine looks Tripled and the Variety Vista example only looks like a DDR.

Yes but MD is flat. This has serifs and matches everywhere the DDR-001, Except for the T's are tripled not just doubled

MD is not flat - it is 'step like' and the devices get reduced in size because of it. Your coin is displaying Machine Doubling.

Okay, but how can it match the DDR-001 from VV,. exactly, except for one difference... Mine is Tripled and not just Doubled

It can't be similar. That's not how it works unfortunately. Everything has to match exactly, including die markers and the Doubled Die itself. DDR-001 is minor. It's a medium spread. I still suspect Machine Doubling. Machine Doubling is very common on half dollars. Machine Doubling can happen more than once, if the die is loose or bounces enough. If you still think it's a DDR, you can always submit it to James Wiles from Variety Vista, for attribution.

It matches as much as it possibly can. Other than being Tripled...& 🤷 #127995;
Wish I had a computer, so I could upload pictures here!

I've listed it on ebay, in case someone here wants to take a much better look at it!
