    Looks like MD, flat and shelflike.

    That's what I didn't want to hear.
    I have a hard time telling the difference.

    One of the things I’ve learned about doubled dies is to look at the number or letter in question. If it’s the same size as normal it’s most likely MD. If it’s noticeably larger a true doubled die comes into play.

    While searching through my Lincoln's I found 2 more after this one. I'm afraid that they too will be MD.

    Out of focus pictures with pixelation…I can’t give a definitive assessment with those, but they might be showing die deterioration issues…imo…Spark

    Here’s mine so you can see what @paddyman98 was saying. It’s very distinctive. Unfortunate yours is MD.

    If you look at the URL in Paddyman's post above , Look at "IN GOD". Notice how the 2 images are very very close to being the same height and merge together in some area. Look at your image and notice that there is little merging, and the width of of each of the 2 is less than original, whereas the DD the total is larger is totally larger . Hope that is not confusing. Here is my close up of a 1955DD. Notice how one runs into the other at the same height. Jim

    I'm pretty sure you were using a microscope camera, to get close ups, but the photos are terrible for determining much.
    Try using your phone on a can or book to get better photos.
