I'm leaning toward MD, because of the shelflike doubling, but I might be wrong. Wait for experts to chime in and see what they say.

To CCF! Just a case of Machine Doubling, not a Doubled Die.

Looks like Machine Doubling, or MD. Flat and shelf like.

I agree. Also, if I am correct, I am not seeing the notching I would expect to see on a doubled die.

Look for the spread. No spread present. All you see is reduction of the normal devices.
When you look at the outside edges of devices, you will find MD and Die Deterioration Doubling. Look at the centers of the devices.

Note the spread and no shelf like area next to the devices? The spread is in the center area of the devices. Not on the edges of devices. If you don't see a doubled die on a coin, looking at the edge of the devices will always get you Machine Doubling and die wear. Stop looking there. Look for the enlarged devices.

Ah! The spread. Yes. Spreading is more descriptive than notching.
