Here are three to ponder.

    Here are three coins with "issues". First is a Merc that seems to have doubling on the date. The entire date seems to be doubled. This is the only doubling on the coin, so I ruled out machine doubling.

    The Jefferson suffered from some sort of delamination. I would have thought it was PMD, but the edges of the damaged surface are worn.

    The penny is a 1940P which seems to have been struck through grease or some other material. I thought this was PMD as well, but there is no damage to the rim.

    Opinions?

    Thanks

    The first one looks like it was struck through a cloth
    And the dime looks REALLY Doubled.

    The second coin (Jefferson Nickel) has some lamination errors and the cent looks to have been struck through something, possibly, as vnickels said, a cloth (or it could be jewelry damaged). On the dime, it looks as though the "doubling" is actually just a spread, due to the fact that the strength of the spread is different on each number.

    Cent looks like it could be a strike through, the nickel is a nice xample of a lamination error , and the dime looks like machine doubling. (Machine doubling often will only show in one area, sometimes a small area, of the coin.)

    Agree that the dime is MD
