Jweaver9188 New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 02/18/2022 03:14 am I purchased a 1985 Philadelphia mint set, came across this guy seems to be quite a bit of doubling in the letters and numbers, I couldn't locate a documented variety for this 85 P, any help or input is more than welcome from anybody. I'm fairly new to the coin collecting hobby but very eager to learn, thank you in advance for all your help. Report this Post to the Staff

A bit too much glare, but it kinda looks like MD=machine doubling not a doubled die.Or maybe MD and DDD=die deterioration doubling. Let's wait for a pro or two to chime in.

A doubled die would show enlargement on the centers of the devices, not on the areas where Machine Doubling happens. Report this Post to the Staff
