Ok. On the obverse is there DD in we and trust also the 69 in date and liberty. I hope you all can see the nose ok. Is it DD or what?

Looks like either post strike damage or Machine Doubling. No added value, unfortunately.

I figured the letters were MD but the nose was pretty interesting. It looks as if there are really two of them. Thanks for the info

The devices need to be a lot closer to see what is going on. But they appear normal in size. Here is an example of what a DDO would look like on this series:
1969-S-Jefferson-Nickel.-He-Has-A-DD-Nose-And-More
Note the doubling is on the centers of the devices, and not on the edges/tops or bottoms of the devices. If they are affected in the way I just mentioned, then they are Machine Doubling.

If it looks like this, (affected on the outsides of the devices) then it is Machine Doubling. (Note the 'E' on WE. On the first images it is wider than the second set of images. Machine Doubling reduces devices. A doubled die enlarges the devices.

The nose is just showing a well placed hit, from damage. I am not seeing a Doubled Die etheir, just circulation wear and flattening on the devices.
