Howdy, Is this Machine Doubling on the date and Lincoln's face? I looked through some CopperCoins varieties and didn't see a close DDO example. Also, I think this is a large date?

I6609 is correct on the large date and I'm curious as to what others will say about the type of doubling. I feel that there is definitely MD here but wondering if it is a doubled die too? Very odd looking and some of the proof doubled dies have a peculiar look anyway. Let's see what the big dawgs say.

Thank you, sir! It not super uncommon to have multiple hits with MD but this one just looked different, leaning towards all MD.

Yeah it looks like it skipped or slid on the die for some reason. Weird but nice.

Looks like slide doubling. Never seen it this bad on a proof.

I'd probably just call it MD, but a really super example regardless of whether you want to further sub-categorize it or not. That squished mintmark is great!

The reverse will probably show the same thing, but in the opposite direction. Looks like Machine Doubling for sure on the date. are, but still wondering on the rest of the devices if it was from a doubled die, that suffered Machine Doubling also? The mintmark is showing quite a push on that area.
