Is it possible to have both; MD and DD?

Just practicing on my eye for Identifying either one! This is MD!# 1999 P Jeff Nickle.

    Yes. Of course.

    Is there a known DD for 1999P nickels? (I don't know, myself). If not then why look? That's just my opinion.

    MD is "flat, shelflike". That seems to describe your coin. Also, the width of the numbers seem to be reduced by the doubling, another sign of MD.

    Yes. The 1931-S DDO FS-101 Mercury Dime has Class II Distorted Hub Doubling that is identified on the date but strike doubling can also be identified on the profile. There are many examples like this.

    Yes, it's possible. They are caused by 2 different things. However, Your coin is not a true doubled die

    There are examples (as noted above) of both occurring on the same coin....I think I have a Kennedy half with that condition... will look for it later. Cheers, RickO

    I thought this question was asking if a person could be both a doctor and dentist at the same time...
