    That's a good one. The doubling looks to be uni-directional (especially on the mintmark.

    I think it's MDD.

    Hey Pete,
    I believe that MDD stands for Master Die Doubling and this is not MDD, but is
    MD - Machine Doubling, or SD - Strike Doubling

    Edited to add - Look at many of the 50's Jeff Nickels to see MDD on TRUST

    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    Late die stage also. Almost like “longacre doubling”
    Still an interesting and somewhat unusual example.

    Learn something new every day. Thanks. You know, I really don't like the short form explanations anyway.

    Me thinks from now on I will have to just type it out.

    It's really no sweat off my back. Thanks again!

    You might have both strike doubling (machine doubling) on the vertical shaft of the P and die fatigue doubling right of the loop of the P.

    Thank you all for your explanations. I was somewhat puzzled by the doubling on both sides of the mm. I can sleep tonight. The hunt continues. Peace Roy
