    I'd say Die Deterioration Doubling.

    Looks like MD. Could be something else, but it definitely doesn't look like doubling.

    looks like ejection doubling, which is worthless.


    Added: Take backs. I looked at it again, and think it's die deterioration doubling. Sorry, had a bad moment.

    My stock answer is usually MD, but.........


    I don't see the usual flat, shelf like appearance.

    Interesting

    Machine Doubling.

    IMO rockdude has nailed it. If it was ejection doubling it would be on only on one side of the letters, Look at the A in America , it looks like this on both sides. this usually mrans it is from worn dies and what we call die detoration doubling. I know I'm going to get my butt kicked for mentioning ejection doubling but I love a little excitement every now and then.

    EDIT: If I get in trouble it was Kasia's fault for causing it. LOL

    Guess what, rascal, I have to agree with you. I looked at it again, and being on both sides, and the way it is, I think it is die deterioriation doubling also. Merry Christmas!!

    Are you just patronizing him? ;)

    ... I still think it's simple MD. Doesn't show the same characterists that coins with die deterioration show, IMO. But like I've said in the past and will continue to say well into the future; I'm not an expert. :p

    Either way, it's not doubling that will command a premium...

    Darn girl don't agree with me this takes the fun out of it , you know I'm just joking . Me and you both are going to get in trouble for saying ejection doubling if a certain old grumpy person sees this. I love these grumpy types...... They want us to only say mechanical doubling but we can say what we want to IMO. LOL

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you also.

    The shelving is all around some letters. I don't think that can happen with MD, because the force can't really go in multiple directions at once.

    I think it's just a reflection on the left sides of the letters. It's machine doubling. Even if it was DDD, it's still only worth 10 cents.

    I agree with it being worth little, but I don't think it's a reflection. It shows pretty clearly and consistently on some parts, as does the shelving on the right side and top parts of letters.
