I was looking at this medal under the microscope and found doubling. Based off of the looks, I thought it was just Machine Doubling, but I found that every other medal also exhibits this doubling. So now, I'm wondering if this is a doubled die. Here's a link of three other medals sold in a stacks-bowers auction exhibiting the same doubling on all three medals: https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/l...-mint-state? The doubling is on the reverse, and is most prominent in the inscription " ANA". More doubling is visible in other areas as including some portions of "Philadelphia"
Does anybody have any insights? Thank you!

Well that is interesting looking, but I think it may be MD.
But then again I do see split serifs too..

Yeah that leftmost serif on the first letter A sure looks split to me too.

Looks like Machine Doubling to me, but I could be wrong.

I am seeing Machine Doubling, too. But I am always ready to be told I am incorrect.

According to that lot description, the dies were made by hand. This is likely repunching.
