I would post 1 coin at a time...take a pic of the whole coin...obverse/reverse...then zoom into the point of interest/question...just makes it a lot easier for us to discuss.

I've never seen MD show up twice or tripple.... Or double on one side of a device and once on the other side...

First and Third photo are great. Can we see pic's of the whole coin please. I've also never seen a double or a triple Machine Doubling. I think you have something here.  |

That star does not look like Machine Doubling. Couldn't MD of a DD give you what looks like quadrupling? |

Here is a cent from my collection that has four shelves. Mike Diamond said that this was the first coin he had ever seen with four shelves.    The op has a MD coin. There are no splits in the serifs. And, lighting can also give a false impression. |

Very sloppy machine that needs adjusted. On most coins, they are only struck once, so all the affected areas were all done after the strike. Proof coins are struck 2 and even more on larger diameter coins. If Machine Doubling happens on the first strike of a proof coin, the MD can be flattened on the second strike. They are called flat field doubling:   Flat field doubling can also happen on proof dies:  Machine Doubling on proof coins on the second strike look like MD on normal coins:      These are showing strong Machine Doubling. Note how the metal was pushed aside like moved snow, causing the metal to rise on the unaffected area next to the MD. |

Mrfixit505, you certainly know by now we adhere to a one coin per thread. It helps us tremendously.
