Yes, MD…there maybe some elements of deterioration present but this looks a classic, but very pronounced MD to me…Spark
OK, look…I am not seeing any RPM action, and I don’t see any MD or any other doubling…this silver dime looks a MS60 or so…so…that’s what you have....
We had a guy lose a heel from his boot. The route marching through Camp Pendleton had 400 Marines in 4 platoons (a Company), and the heel nails...
Yes, plus tomato and salt along with white vinegar makes ketchup a moderately acidic substance. It is the acid content that turns copper pink....
Ketchup will clean to a pink but the corrosion is yet another form of environmental damage. Either way the coin is a spender…imo…Spark
Yes, please supply in-focus close-ups of the area you suspect the doubling. And, use Variety Vista and Wexler to find acknowledged doubled die...

@JeffC …perhaps “m” meaning “medal”. There’s a lot of verbiage on that label.
I don’t claim coining (pun intended) the acronym. I saw it here on CT a few years ago. I think it was in a graphic another member had posted.
@potty dollar 1878 …is right, lots of split-plate doubling on both sides, and classic form of it on the mint mark. It also has DDD on the date...
@justin stetler …Variety Vista or doubleddie.com. Between the two you will find the acknowledged varieties for each year and mint mark. Your OP...
Not a grease error, just a badly worn, damaged nickel. A stronger (better?) magnifier won’t show you anything that your eyes did at first. Trust...
