1934 D Buffalo nickel... seems to have some doubling in date and Liberty... and a few die cracks.

Looks like MD. It is in the braid and under the chin, too.

MD is damage to a coin caused before the coin leaves the mint. PMD is post-mint damage, after the coin leaves the mint.

It looks like there is some very serious doubling on the obverse. I checked the NGC variety table and there is no mention of a 1934-D with doubling, but that does not mean it is not recorded somewhere else... Maybe you found something new? You have a beautiful coin!

I'm pretty sure that Drsandman2 meant Machine Doubling (MD). I would not classify this as damage.

Here is a large image. Now that I look closer, I can see the doubling on the portrait as well. I had looked online and in any books I had but never really saw any reference to a 34D double die. Regardless, I like it and I got ot for the lower end of AU money.

Sorry, I should have known that it was really late when I responded to the post... yeah, that sounds good

Is it possible to have Machine Doubling in different places and in different directions like the obverse shows? I mean the 'direction' of the doubling on the 'L' in liberty is in a slightly different 'direction' than say that of the '4' in the date.

Nice! Are those die cracks on top of the head and another from the edge of his mouth?
