If you are referring to the doubling on the USOA devices, they are MD ( Machine Doubling), and on the obverse there is a slight misaligned die.

Thebigdog New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 08/23/2018 7:20 pm The E and D (the D mainly) is where I noticed it, and the R seems like the serifs are completely separated Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/23/2018 7:44 pm to CCF. The reverse is MD. The obverse is a minor MAD with a Rim Fin. It is also a large date and I think it is copper. In 1982 they also made small date and copper plated zinc. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/24/2018 1:12 pm Note all the affected areas are reduced in size by the MD. If it were a doubled die, the devices would be enlarged: Machine Doubling reduces the size of the devices. Look at the "M & R" on AMERICA. Note that the overall size is reduced. The full strike happens with a normal die and the slightest die movement alters the new device. Making the coin machine doubled. Report this Post to the Staff
