I looked through the variety vista site and was unable to locate a DDR error for this coin. I wanted to ask this forum if this appears to be a DDR on the E PLURIBUS UNUM? Thanks for looking!

    I would vote machine doubling.

    That is a classic example of machine doubling. Cheers, RickO

    Not a doubled die.

    It's the very common form of machine/ejection
    doubling.

    Just to add- MD on incuse letters like these can look a lot like a doubled die, it can cause extra thickness and split serifs and doesn't flatten parts of the letters as it would on positive relief.
