Thank you on both. I sent the wrong picture actually. That's kind of why I asked. It just seems to be going different directions in different areas. I've collected coins for 40 years and just now decided to do something with them. It's alot to it ,as I'm learning. The cast majority of it from here,so thanks to all.
To answer question of "Can there be both mechanical and die doubled coins?" Yes Doubled die coins are a result from the manufacturing of the coin die. Mechanical doubling is a result from the manufacturing (striking) of the coin. So a coin die that is doubled and therefore produces doubled die coins can also produce mechanical doubling when that die is used to manufacture (strike) coins.
That's kinda what I had in mind you just made it make sense. Seems like there's alot going on with this one besides being beat up and bout wore out. Thanks for your help.
Shel it looks like your coin is suffering from die deterioration. In your first photo, the devices (lettering) aren't sharp. The whole coin looks mushy and soft. This is exactly what happens after the die has struck many coins. Another confirmation is the orange peel texture you see it the fields. And has been answered a DDO or DDR can also exhibit MD, but rarely DDO and die deterioration. A doubled die (DIE) is usually pulled from use before it gets used enough to show deterioration.
Many of the 1916 doubled die nickels also show additional machine doubling, such as this one. The "doubling" on the nose is machine doubling.
