    I see machine doubling flat shelf like images and cuts in the letters,not hub doubling sorry,not a doubled die.

    Stilll machine doubling, Sorry

    Look and examine the letters especially the N jello,notice the flat image and the shelf like appearance on that letter,and there's a cut in the letter as well striking down,on the coin,which leaves that impression of a force hitting down on the coin, and sometimes you will see the metal sticking up from the pressure of the strike MD

    It's machine doubling and a hint of die deterioration doubling on the leaves.

    Thanks,

    Jello,
    Very Nice example of a Type "M" reverse.:hail:
    I found a 1969 D not too long ago.

    Is that a split in the serif on the last "S" in states
    in picture number 3 the light is hitting it and I can't
    quite make it out. There is some discussion
    taking place in Ike land concerning double dies with machine doubling
    (strike doubling just what I personally call it) on them also.
    at this time just throwing mud on the wall and seeing
    what sticks
    (Ya Know what I mean??;))

    I noticed that split serif also, but all the other letters are the 'flat- shelf-like' type, so it precludes die doubling.

    I may have it ck out by Wexler $5.00-$12.00 could turn in $600.00.
    It look 500X better in hand plus,my photos do not show all doubling is on all over the rev.photo were taken with a 3.5mp Pentax that not made for do photos of close ups.I have to put this on it to get the photo you see

    is machine doubling and quite common on these coins in this era.
