1968-1972 cents have the most Machine Doubling on them. Even the DDO's have Machine Doubling on them: This is 4 examples. All are doubled dies: Note all are showing the enlarged devices. Then note the yellow arrows. All are affected in the same direction. Note on your coin? All the MD is in the same direction. So the die was normal and the Machine Doubling happened after the strike. On the DDO's I posted all are doubled dies, (the doubling is on the die) and the machine altered the devices after the strike.Also note that the MD varies from strike to strike.
