The date looks doubled.

 

Plating issues combined with MD?

 

I'll let potter take a look at it, theres a lot going on with this coin, non cent where are you

 

This is simply plating disturbances and plating striations.

 

Its is really in great shape, the memorial is very well stamped, really the whole coin is, very high grade, thats for sure, I'll post photos of the obverse and reverse tomorrow, thanks everybody, but where non cents, hes always the first to show

 

heres a site for trail die http://coins.about.com/gi/o.htm?zi=...tt=13&bt=7&bts=7&zu=http://www.traildies.com/

 

this one looks like plate shift doubling and fits in the group called MD. I'm thinking that one of the things that could cause this plate shift doubling is because the copper plating was not attached to the planchet very well before being struck. this probably allowed the plating to try to excape the recessed areas of the coin die and started stretching.

 

Doesn't look like a trail die to me. Looks like something is wrong with the plating.

 

heres some full size photos

 

As Jody said, I think that this one is all related to plating disturbances. I see no evidence of die trails.

 

No trails. The plating disturbances are very evident on this coin. There is MD as well as movement of the plating as the coin was struck.
