I am thinking MD. Notice how the width of the devices are smaller not wider.

 It looks like MD to me. It even affects the denticles. However, it looks to have a rim clip over DEI.

Thanks guys :) The rim clip...is that listed as an error anywhere? No value with MD either I'm guessing?

Tamless theres more about your coin you should know. I brought some of your images over to my program. there is 4 individual strikes on this coin with a shift counter clockwise. check the denticle. if you want to know more send me a couple of as large a photos as you can. I will show you what I mean. the coin shifted between the sec and third strike. look at the rim on your coin it is thick and thin. that also identify the shift. hope this helps

I don't know Rocky...you're saying that this was struck 4 times? I'm not an expert but I'm leaning to MD. There is a definite rim clip including blakesley effect (weakness in the rim opposite the rim clip).

Nice shot of the edge. You can really picture the metal trying to fill the void the clip left during the strike, but coming up just short. with @silverwolf that this coin was not struck four times. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Under enough magnification, any coin can be guessed to be struck multiple times. This is a mechanical process with built-in tolerances/allowances that are less than exactly 100% precise. No mechanical process can be perfect to build common everyday items, be it coins or nails or bottlecaps or bobbypins.

rocky, all due respect, but where do you come up with this stuff  |

the edge shot shows the clip to be a ragged clip (or flawed planchet if you prefer). makes it better than a standard rim clip. cool.

yes I agree this is Mechanical Doubling. but think about this, that coin went through a second full strike cycle. I would like to have that coin on my stacker. all I need is 30 minutes. the Mechanical Doubling took place when the coin shifted. tamless you are doing very well. your focus of the coin in your photos is incredible. when you get going at this coin collecting. you need to think about checking at high mag. I can tell you are going to do very well at this. tamless if you would consider this. I will do a stack of your coin. you see it all. this would also show you how far one can go with high mag. if your interested pm me. |

I see no evidence of this coin being struck more than once... the one strike that occurred, was on a flawed planchet, with light Machine Doubling occurring on the strike.
