Maybe the combination of die deterioration doubling and MD is throwing them off. There is no notching on the letters, the supposed doubling...
Pie cutter. I think that's so cool that people used coins back then for alternate uses such as cutting pies...

You'll have to be more specific. I don't see anything out of the ordinary with the coin...
