1970-S DDO penny (need second, or third opinion)

DDO or MD?

That's machine doubling. Also note the same doubling shows on the mintmark, which is a dead giveaway for MD, as the mintmark is punched into the die AFTER it is hubbed. The hubbing process is what can double the design on a die.

MD

Like Christian says. Classic machine doubling. If you need a fourth opinion I'm sure it will be coming soon.

Machine doubling.

Thanks guys. That's a bummer, but i understand why it's MD after the explanation. I've never found a DDO or DDR before, so i thought this was the one!

Here’s a picture that I saved from a past thread. Can be helpful.

MD.

MD, but stronger than most posted here. I would hang onto it as a good example.

Flat and shelf like. The classic giveaway.
