I'm going to say that this is MD - please note that the devices are reduced in size and step like.

Here is why I feel its not MD and actually: CLASS II - Distorted Hub Doubling: "This class occurs when a hub flattens out between hubbings on a single die. This happens because the hubs are used to create a number of dies (often over a hundred). As with any malleable material, the steel flattens outward as it is used. If a die is first hubbed with a hub that is rather new and subsequently with an old hub, the devices near the outer edge will show doubling either towards the center of the design (flattened hub used first) or towards the edge of the design (flattened hub used last". "Class II hub doubling is most often characterized by doubling that parallels the outside edges of the devices closest to the rim. The two primary requirements are that the spread be directly toward or away from the rim (without rotation or pivot) and that there be clear separation lines in the doubling" ¹

It is painful when you can plainly see doubling, but you have to consider MD first. For me, split serifs are always what I look for, and then comparisons with the known varieties. Good eye though and nice photos. Keep searching!
