So yea I've already looked at the 1 DDR that's attributed to this coin, with that being said, I'm gonna refrain from getting a lil excited over this coin! But man, I sure hope my pics are gonna be clear enough for some answers here. So on just about every letter on the eastern half of the reverse, I can see a line, to the southeast, starting with the 2nd S of states, all of AMERICA, and all of CENT. Not going towards the rim, but can it still be Machine Doubling?

Just Machine Doubling. When looking for a doubled die, look at the centers of the devices. You are looking at the outside edge of the devices. That is where you will find die wear to the closest rim and Machine Doubling that affects the outside/inside edges of the devices. Look for the spread on the centers of the devices:

Note how much larger the DDR on the top has spread on the devices.
Middle image a normal sized set of devices. Note they are smaller than the DDR?
Note the last image is showing a normal sized set of devices, but on the outside edges of the devices, the contour was removed off the coin, thus make the devices even smaller. So you get to see where to look. Look at the centers of the devices. Looking at the outside edges of the devices is a waste of time. Spread on the centers, if not there, move on to the next coin. Spend to much time on a coin, you will find Machine Doubling and die wear or on the newer coin DDD ( Die Deterioration Doubling). Look for the spread coins. If not there, move to the next coin. Seconds not minutes on a coin. Looking too long for something minor is also a poor use of time. Move on.

Just wanted to check and see if the "lines" are visible to everyone? I realize, and apologize, close-ups with a phone/camera setup are a crap shoot, but I've been playing with different lens' and lights, trying to capture better pics!

I swear dr coops reply was not there when I asked in the 2nd reply? In fact, I looked about 30 min after posting the 2nd, still didn't see but the initial post and my 1 reply! I promise I wasn't ignoring you dr coop, as my reply coming after your's, seems to imply!

But also I'm seeing athe doubling on the inside's of some devices, that's what was kinda throwing me off? Also, th thought your previous illustrations said it would always be on the outer devices, towards rim? These are all on the east side of the elements, sometimes not going towards rim? Can also see the lines on the interior sections of the E's, C and N of cent, and inside the R and A of America?
I'm gonna attempt to get a better pic, with possibly some illustrations pointing or outlining where I'm seeing the line! Plus on the NT of cent, it almost appears that those elements have been enlarged by this line?

Again, I'm not disagreeing with Dr Coop, Coin Whisperer, just didn't know if my pics are showing the full "picture"!
