    Mechanical (machine, strike) doubling

    The flatness is a giveaway the its MD. Also note that there is no notching/split serifs that are characteristic of doubling.

    Good example of MD as stated - save it for a "comparison" coin.

    MD, but a strong example of it.

    First question to ask, and I am sorry if I missed it, does the 1916-S have a DDO variety?
