MD in different directions?

I know this isn't an error but I want the error folks to answer the question so I put it here... sorry about that. I have a 2000-P Maryland Quarter that has MD on the left and right side that both go in opposite directions (E-W). There's also some going N-S on the reverse. How does MD go in three different directions on a coin? Is it just the way it rattles between the dies? Thanks for looking.

MD can happen this way. See Error Ref's definition page under "Push Doubling:"

Also Die Deterioration Doubling (DDD) can be a possibility!

 

No! It's the way the die rattles.

Thanks for the read. That makes sense. Into the coinstar jar it goes!

 

Thanks, mental correction made.

 

Error Ref is my Gospel for these things, even when I disagree with Mike. He's usually right even then, anyways.

 

Coin star jar ......what Safeway you taking it to?
