2005 D Cent DD date?

Looks like some extra thickness and noticeable notches on the upper and lower left on the 2.

Looks like a very small amount of MD to me.

 

The MD is usually explained to be flat shelf-like doubling, while hub-doubling usually shows extra thickness, spit-serifs, or notches where the two overlap and are off-set. To me this isn't the typical flat shelf-like MD, but has the extra thickness and notches and looks like a 2 over a 2. It could be MD or DDD, but just not what I'm accustomed to seeing. Thanks.

 

Just a normal coin. It's your microscope light that's causing the appearance of doubling. It would be thicker than a normal date if it was doubled.

 

This does seem the most likely cause of the anomaly.

 

Here is a link to some pics at Coneca's website. These are of several different 2006P doubled die obverse cents. You will be able to tell the difference.
