Is this typical MD?

I'm still not great with distinguishing between MD's and DD's. This columbian has doubling on the date, most of the lettering that I can see and stars on the Rev. What is your opinion?
Thanks, Bobby

MD. "Shelf" doubling.

Still, kinda cool.

I think it’s MD, and that it’s cool as well.

Ya, it's got a nice die crack over "world's" also.

@bsshog40 ... Definitely machine doubling.... Great pictures. Always good to have the full obverse/reverse and then the magnified details.... Well done!! Cheers, RickO

MD is "flat and shelf-like". I can't imagine a better example of that effect than this one.

Yes, not a double die. Too bad for the cleaning.

Looks like MD, but Coinfacts lists an 1892 RPD FS-303 similar to yours and even has the die cracks above WORLD.

I think my doubling is opposite the FS-303.
Thanks Jim!

That's just due to the strike. Nice coin.

Bobby,
You might give it an acetone bath. Those "cloudy" areas are often PVC. Stuff on the obverse too.
