Hi
I just joined and am a newbie to the coin collecting world. I have been researching and learning about coins, grading and errors. I am really having difficulties figuring out what is the differences in the doubling errors, varieties etc.

Here is one of my coins - from what I have been learning, I think this is Machine Doubling, did I get it correct or is it a DDO, MD or Strike double? I hope you can help me out from my scan (2400 dpi).

thank you very much

to CCF. Looks like a worn die to me not MD.

I'm leaning more toward MD. Note how the devices are thinned a bit? There is a little bit of die flow above the letters from die wear. Some split plating from a hard strike. Probably you can see more split plating on the reverse?

Hub doubling makes the devices larger because the die was incorrectly hub doubled.

Not the lower part of this image. You can see the enlarging of the devices on a 1995P-1DO-001 there.

MD reduces the devices a little or sometimes a lot.

Thank you all for the nice welcome. Coop I have been going through your YouTube links and seeing what I can match up on my coins here to see if I have indicated correctly. These have been a terrific help. Thanks, but just when I think I know what I am doing I find out that I didn't classify it correctly.
I don't know what you mean by the "split plating" but I will upload the back of the 1995 coin tomorrow and maybe you can tell me.

Here is a 1972 D Obverse picture has some doubling which I thought was the Master Die type error 1972 1¢ MD-5-O-I+II but that page doesn't down how the Date looks doubled, so when I was going through your YouTube videos this one caught my eye because that is how my "2" looks. Your thoughts please?

thanks
Sandy

Split plating happens toward the direction of the closest rim. It can be on any device on the coin, but on the side towards the rim:

On your coin I see it on the last "T" in TRUST next to the rim. Most of the time it is gray in color, sometimes darker in color.

I do see your coin as master die doubling on it. The key points are on this image:

While this is a doubled die, it is estimated that a large percentage of 1972 cents from all three mints have this doubling, so it is very common.
