rmsexauer Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 05/16/2017 6:17 pm It looks to me like DDD Die Deterioration Doubling or MD Machine Doubling -- Maybe both ... the first clue to look for is that the letters appear to be "smaller" or "thinner." In a true doubled die the lettering/design elements will be larger/wider not smaller and thinner.. with Machine Doubling the "chatter" or movement of either the die setup or the planchet will cause the second impression from the die to smash part of the lettering/design elements from the initial impression which is what makes the lettering look thinner and also exhibit the flat shelf like appearance you see on most MD..
