Hello !
I do not see a photo attached. That typically happens when it is above the limit set by the admins. A typical good size for a JPEG/JPG photo is 800x800 or smaller. Depending on your operating system, there are several tools that can help you with resizing/cropping.
Give it another try !

Nope. You were right the first time. Its MD. Even shows on the wings above ONE. Might show some signs of die deterioration too. Nice clear pics. I would try diffusing the light a little more to help with the glare but on this coin, its still MD. Great pics thoughLast edited by Kloccwork419; 02-13-2022, 10:25 AM.

Klocc is right on as usual.
If the coin exhibits a step-like feature, it usually indicates the coin has received damage from the minting press.
If the affected area looks like it could be the original size of the letter if they were at the same height, then suspect machine doubling.
Typically the doubled dies will add thickness, or additional width to the area.
The website http://varietyvista.com has some examples of the year you have. Please remember that the doubled area is made on the dies, and that area or pick up points and markers are where your coin should show. The dies then make coins with that condition "stamped" onto the once planchet, now coin. The area of effect doesn't move although over the life of the die, some of the appearance may change.
