Also I want to mention with the last picture, does it look
like his face has a mask on it or something? No, that's his face. lol He reminds me of Teddy Roosevelt or maybe even Chief Gillespie. It looks to me like Strike Doubling on your coin. |

Looks like md. I haven't see a new Washington obverse DDO yet. On the reverse the letters would look thinner around the rim. Coop tackled this topic. Same applies for the shield Cent reverse. MD:  Cent DDR example:  |

Thank you, that's what I thought but wanted to double check, but honestly they should fix that poor guys face lol. When I first looked at it, my first thought was he has the mumps or something. But thank you for the responses, I appreciate it.

Strike Doubling is what I thought as well - then I see that CM already mentioned it. The Cumberland Gap guy gets a funny face like that too.

I'm pretty sure Teddy R was a cyborg unless I'm remembering my history classes wrong.  |

Just for clarification, MD is the abbreviation for Machine Doubling aka Mechanical Doubling. It is also sometimes referred to as Machine Damage. MD includes Strike Doubling and/or wear on the die, both of which fall under the broader heading of Strike Doubling, because the doubling occurs when the coin is struck. Strike Doubling is recognized by a flat and shelf-like "doubling" that coincides with the devices, as it does on America on your coin. Die wear on the other hand manifests itself in many ways. The one that resembles doubling is thick and mushy compared to Strike Doubling. MD and/or Strike Doubling are the broadest of terms associated with all the above. They are both classified as mint errors, Over-used Die errors and Strike Doubling errors respectively. They are not considered damage, because damage can only occur after the strike. In all fairness, some will argue that the die bounces high enough at the strike creating a second strike which makes it damage. The only thing known for sure however, is that the coin is stuck once, bouncing while still in contact with the coin. This is why they're classified as errors. These errors are common and add little to no interest or value except in extreme or unusual instances. |
