Having a glimpse into your knowledge, why do I feel this is a loaded question?

I'll leave this one to the 'perts.
Rest in Peace

I'm baffled by the question ; ''What Is On This Coin''
It's got to be a loaded question .

I'm going with a MD/DDO. It shows movement in all directions,But the devices aren't flattened and the L and E shows serifs.On a side note I really like this. It questions us on what things are. Even if I'm wrong,I know I will have learned a lot!
Rest in Peace

It appears to be a one direction (CW) rotated DDO with MD in Northerly direction

(NW arrow on E shows the overlap of MD which is strike caused while the hub-doubling is a process pre-strike.)

Just how much smoke is coming outta my *** this time Coop?

Looks like everyone caught on that this was a loaded question. It is actually as already mention by Newbie, MD and a DDO. So the correct answer is something else. It is both of these items. How can your tell? When you do the side by side, then you see what is what on it.

Just wanted to show that Machine Doubling happens on variety coins as well. So if we say it is a doubled die and it has MD on it, that is possible. The enlarged devices are a doubled die, the flat, one color areas are MD.

I cherrypicked FS-104 off ebay over the summer so I knew this was a DDO, but I didn't catch the Machine Doubling.
