It's impressive Machine Doubling on the date.

Please stop using photos of your scope screen. They are not accepted here. Thanks

The proper name is Doubled Die. Also a DD is a variety, not an error.
Proper terminology is important in numismatics.
From what I can see from the those photos is that it is MD.

This topic has been locked for pictures of a screen. These almost always are terrible and against the rules. We are locking this topic to prevent posts with "We need better images". You will get many more quality responses when there are quality images in the first post of a topic. Please start a new topic when you are able to upload non-screen pictures. If needed you can use the testing forum. When you start a new topic this one may be removed. So don't panic if you get an email that your topic was removed it's only this one.

Please try again, but save the image to an SD card and get it on your computer or phone and upload the actial image, not these screen shots.
