This had got to be machine damage, but, I have never seen it where there are two steps. It is pretty difficult to see in my pics, but both the Half and Dollar have two steps as well as the designer initials. Am I right?

Maybe a double die with some MD? I can't tell. Good learning experience.

I feel it is just machine damage. If it were hub doubling on the initials, the feathers would also be affected. I'm not seeing that there. Nice looking design on the coin. I've not seen this one before. Thanks for the look.

Beautiful design. I'm gonna need one of those. I looked at a few at Heritage; most of the Business Strikes looked to have similar MD especially on HALF DOLLAR and CHALLENGER.

For the record, it's this Challenger, although he's named for the Shuttle crew:
