Normal for the Matte or burnished finish? I'm not seeing doubling. That is extreme magnification.

Thanks for that, I could see it in the loupe so I looked on the scope to see what was going on. I decided to get some more experienced opinions. I just didn’t have an answer for what I was seeing.
Enjoy it with your eyes - under a high power microscope you're liable to see all sorts of things that can't be explained.

You are not alone with “what the heck happened “ problems. Is that smutz around “U” in United? Several good threads already running with a number of pictures and people with similar issues. Check the Morgan and Peace Dollar flippers welcome thread. Sorry. Most everything I received this year had problems. The reverse proof set is nice but there’s a ding on one of those so. I hear you!😉.
Welcome to the forum 👍🏼

Thanks for the replies and thank goodness for forums to inform inexperienced collectors like myself. I have not seen one that I received that would make a 70. I most likely won’t be sending any in for grading.
I’m inclined to say machine doubling
I’m awaiting more replies
I’m inclined to agree. Interesting it appears to be on the date only. M D is said to have the step look to it and the numbers look like they are sitting on little pedestals. I shall wait with you but gunna venture a guess as part of grading class. So to speak 😎

@MtW124.... Welcome aboard.... That appears to be minor machine doubling. Lots of problems reported on these coins. I was fortunate... Cheers, RickO
My eye appointment with the MD is now scheduled for Dec 6th.
Edited to add that I am used to seeing more machine doubling with horizontal side shifts one way or another from the loose dies. This version does look more vertical like on a pedestal, evenly distributed on all sides, as mentioned above.

Well, I am happy to hear what you guys have to say because my eyes are not the best. The steps just look rounded to me so that’s what stumped me as I know MD is normally a somewhat straight cut and not rounded. I’m lost and learning.
