Can anyone help me out with this one? I was really puzzled with the front of the coin, but the with the back the you in United,the TED in United, the O in One I could see what looked like a lot of thickness and I'm not sure if this one is a doubled die or what. Any help would surely be appreciated.

It looks like Strike Doubling (MD) to me. The devices look reduced in size by the "doubling". That's just my opinion, maybe someone else will comment.

It is Strike Doubling/Machine Doubling (MD)

However that is a nice die crack on the Memorial's corner.

Thank you everyone. I appreciate your help.

With the die crack, does that add any value?

Nah. A die crack that short doesn't add any value. But you can keep it if you want. Worth 1 cent.

If it was longer, and the coin was in better condition, maybe a couple dollars. small Die Cracks are fairly common. Better luck on the next one.

Some folks like those die cracks and different anomalies. Good pictures BTW. For future ref. take pictures of the entire coin Obv. and Rev. first, then zero in on the problem areas.
Rest in Peace

At least a die crack is worth saving, even if it's not worth much for dollar value.

Good eyes and good photos. You'll find some goodies with that combination.
