The Glossary says of 'MD':


Quote:
1. Short for medium date.

2. Short for metal detecting.


But do you mean ' Mechanical Doubling'?

Since we don't talk too much about metal detecting, or medium dates on this forum I'm sure I mean Mechanical Doubling or Machine Doubling.

It looks like Die Deterioration and a well placed gas bubble. I love it!

Awesome coin Bobby. Speaking of Colorado, here's a gold-plated one of George in Denver - you know, the "Mile High" city.

I have to disagree with the date. This is an example of a deteriorated die. This occurs on the side of the devices towards the closest rim. Date on the right, LIBERY on the left and the tops on the motto devices. It gets much worse as the die ages:
