  I think you may want to change "rhode islam" to "Rhode Island" in your title. Agree that it's machine doubling and has no additional value.

  You are new to this. You can't tell DD from MD. Life is Short.

  Based on all of this, if it were me I would not be wasting my time scrutinizing dates/MMs that do not have known DDs with clear reference photos available.

  But that's just me.

  I think this is actually "incused machine doubling", the same but different.

  What @kbbpll said. Incuse lettering MD can look a lot like a doubled die. There was a thread here a while back(2 years?) that had a really good example. If you didn't realize the letters were incuse you would swear it was a doubled die.

  I think this was the thread.

  Snippet from the OP @Manorcourtman in the above thread, “According to Dr. James Wiles: " the doubling is the result of machine damage doubling on incuse design elements. It is not a doubled die." Thanks for all the input and comments!! The Doubling is still fantastic!!!

  I'm not sure how this happened but it is an extremely nice Doubled die in my opinion. I have found different stages and varying degrees of doubling. The 7 in 2017 in doubled nicely along with the E in E PLURIBUS UNUM. Opinions on how this happens with the new minting process are appreciated! Enjoy!”
