    I kind of assume everything i find with doubling on it anymore is MD, but i finally got a decent camera and was going to post a few pics for other opinions if no one cares. Some of them look pretty neat in any case. If the doubling is obverse and reverse, it's a good bet it happened when it was struck i'm guessing, but i'm not sure.

    Id have to say MD, the doubling looks to be mashed below the actual design of the coin. The 2 ddo's that i have found(55 ddo2 and 68 ddo-01), the doubling is noticably raised, but not so much on yours. Im still a novice though, so you should wait for a more experienced person to chime in :D

    And btw, nice pics :)

    Thanks! It's not easy getting a decent pic sometimes. I read some about the 1999Ps and the severe to light die wear, i didn't know if this was a product of that or not.

    Whenever you see doubling on both sides your first thought should be machine doubling. It is extremely rare for a coin to have been struck with a doubled obverse die AND a doubled reverse die. (Yes, exceptions exist but they are extremely rare.)

    I figured as much. I think this is the most doubling i've found on one coin so far.
