    Full images of both sides, please, and ask specific questions. What do you suspect?

    Minor die deterioration doubling. Just worthless doubling. Nothing really major.
    Common issue on many cents.

    I wasn't quite sure honestly. The first thing I noticed was the middle arm of the E in "WE". It looked to have another behind it. Then the L in "LIBERTY" looked to have a separation line running down it. So I then looked at the date. The mint mark looked crooked so to say but also was exactly where it was supposed to be. The 0 doesn't look right with it being larger on one side than the other. That along with the faint separation line running through the 9 and what looks to be two different ends on the 9 as well as the 6 made me think small/large but then again I don't know that's why i asked here. This site will only let me post 10 photos so here is a link to a shared album if you'd like to look at more photos. And thank you to all who have replied.

    I'll just address this part - during the era when mint marks were punched into each die, small rotations of the MM were common and there was no "exactly where it was supposed to be", there was only close enough for government work. The MM wasn't put on the master dies until 1990 and 1991. https://doubleddie.com/58201.html

    Otherwise I see MD and DDD, as stated.

    Those are really detailed photos, well done.
    The E shows flatness (MD) and die deterioration.

    Well explained. We all can focus on the coins’ details now instead of guessing.

    That said, the previous answers of MD and die deterioration were spot on. Also, a single full size image of the obverse, with correct focus and lighting, would have been sufficient to address all the details you queried.

    I advise the minimum of a full obverse, a full reverse and a couple close-ups to properly display posted coins so members can analyze better and offer better opinions to you. Sometimes a close-up of the edge is needed to explain questions.

    Providing good photos and asking well-informed questions helps us help you. Coin Talk works best when proper images are present.

    I hope this helps you be a better poster and collector. The articles at doubleddie.com will not only help you learn about die deterioration, mechanical/machine doubling and other worthless doubling but also true varieties as well. Go to error-ref.com to learn what true errors are…Spark
