I found a pretty neat flying eagle that kinda looks like massive machine doubling on the date. However, it looks like lettering is also doubled and even the eagle wing is doubled. I was hoping for some opinions!

Thanks

    Kind of looks like what I had posted earlier with another coin. So I'm guessing shelf doubling which would be MD.

    My vote is machine doubling, given the shelf-like appearance of it. I do wonder if the 1 might be repunched though, or if it’s just the lighting and image.
    On second thought no, the 1 isn’t repunched.

    I'd say machine doubling, but it does make you look twice.

    The dates were not hubbed on FE cents, so this is MD.

    Appears to be machine doubling.... and a very nice example. Cheers, RickO
