You know what the year of this cent is right
Actually, it is exactly that, with a nice spread near the rim ... and nice pictures to show it!

Yep, mechanical doubling.

Can too and is.
It is not only MD, it is classic MD.

A minority of the 1916 DDO nickels also display machine doubling. The bottom coin shows the additional MD along the chin, lips, nose, and forehead.
