Lincoln Cents 1958 and 1961 Doubling

Was going through my unsure pile and was looking at these two, They both appear to have double Dates but not sure if they are Doubled Die or Machine Doubling. The 58 I believe is more MD. Any help would be great. Thank You

They both look pretty flat and shelf-like to me. I vote MD.

 

im a noob but i say md

 

both md

 

I think both are MD, but there seems to also be die deterioration on the top of the "1", the tail of the '9' and the right side of the '8'.

 

Yep, MD. And Jim nailed the die deterioration doubling on the '58.

 

Just don't put these in 2X2 holders, they cardboard would be worth more than the coins. I'm not trying to be silly, I'm just making mention that many people think that labeling a coin as machine doubled makes the coin a keeper.

We need to point out occasionally that MD is common and doesn't add any numismatic value to a coin and actually can diminish the coin's value.

 

Great Thank You all For your replies.
