Hello all!

New here and new to the coin hunt. I found the attached 1999 cent recently in circulation. I am not very good at photos yet, but hopefully someone can see what I see. I changed the color settings on the LIBERTY and IN pictures for better visibility. Is this a doubled die?

looks like Machine Doubling to me, but I could be wrong.
Did you also check to see if it's a Wide AM?

The "I" and the "N" are making me unsure...its hard with the lighting of the picture though...does the doubled part flat? I don't think there are any 99P DDO's

The doubling apprear flat from the images, but a closer view might help?

The separation line on the northern portion of RTY looks like a DDO but at the LIB tops appears to be a moderate DDD. It is a combination of a DDO and a DDD. Let's here other' opinion. As to the IN G, I cannot tell whether it is an MD or a DDO as the picture is not clear.

I appreciate all the input. I will hopefully get some better pictures up in the near future. As far as being flat, they don't appear to be flat. I could be wrong, though.

I was able to get pictures of some of the letters in LIBERTY. Just the L, E, and T for now as they came out a little better.

Definitely Machine Doubling, like Coop said. The "I" and "N" had me wondering though.

Per request, Jayman. Again they are separate letters as that is the best pictures with what I have. I also added the G. Thanks for the responses.

This is a deceiving example of Machine Doubling.
