Machine doubling. Not a doubled die.
Keep up the hunt!

 

Darn lol! thanks non_cents i appreciate the input

 

He's a diagram that can help you distinguish between double die and MD:

 

Thanks that helps alot. But my coin looks more like hub doubling than machine

 

It's step like, a characteristic of MD; as opposed to separation, a characteristic of hub doubling.

 

Ok thanks i c what ur saying. If it were hub i would b able to see the outline of the whole coin underneith. Correct?

 

I got a 1974 penny with s and of missing

 

That happens because of a grease or debris filled die. Nothing major.
