I have the hardest time telling them apart (sometimes) I will go ahead and bet Machine Doubling but could I be wrong?

I guess you are referring to what (I think) I see looking at IGWT. It's hard to tell without a close-up shot. Maybe one of the pros will "take a stab".

From what I can see there is no notches or separation visible so I'll say this is your regular 64 cent. Thanks for sharing. You may learn a lot more by checking this site for the difference between MD and true doubled dies. There are lots of illustrations and explanations there.

I tried enlarging the photo a bit but it pixalates too much, but I can see die wear and flow lines in the IGWT area and possible DDD.
However.....It does look like there might be Class V doubling under the L of LIBERTY. Or since it appears that the light source is coming from the north, it could be just a shadow. I'd like to see another photo from another angle of light or you could just look at it again and tell us if you see anything under the L.

Dang it... nothing under the L. I need to stop using a scanner bc of shadow issues, pixel issues, etc...
There is doubling on most letters and date that can be seen "in hand" I will have to take MD. I am new at this so any doubling still has a wow factor for me :)
Thanks for the help everybody!

I can not tell by the photo but the thing to remember about doubeled dies: Machine dbl the first image is curved on top the 2nd is flat. Doubled Die the first image is curved and so is the 2nd.
