Is this MD? The pic is taken with the scope so excuse the quality. It looks like some notching but the lighting is all wrong and I can't seem to get it right!

Sandra, I would say that you need to subdue the light, and also diffuse it. What little I can see , (not the ear), appears to be MD, but don't quote me.

I know Dick...I am having a heck of a time tonight with the lighting and I think my eyes are tired and got no patience Camera is acting up... fuzzy lines and such so I'm forced to go with the scope.

All of the pics posted her are mechanical doubling. Sorry....
I agree with Dick's assessment of the lighting problem. The bright light is causing too much glare. Try to diffuse the light somehow and they will come out much better.

Sandra, I would like to see your scope, setup. Maybe I can offer a bit of help. I think you are using too much magnification, (zoom). It isn't the magnification that does the job, it is the calrity.
You said: Camera is acting up... fuzzy lines and such so I'm forced to go with the scope.
The lighting is too concentrated. Have you tried a CD case with a sheet of bond paper, or a section cut from the side of a plastic milk jug? They will diffuse the light, and get rid of the glare. There are other ways, also, but I am not that versed in their use There are several here who can give better guidance in that respect, than I. Hope this helps
Dick

Most of the time in a photo you get 3 surfaces, the flat field and the flat top surface of the raised lettering but in between those surfaces there's a cliff. On some coins that cliff is sharp but on some it's not sharp so it becomes a 3rd surface that looks like doubling when light reflects from it. Look with different lighting and it will probably vanish.

That is right, ED! I have been fooled by the the nice clean vertical sides. I use a mount for the coin that allows it to rotate in place, or I can hold the top with the coinm, and rotate the base, or third< I can change the angle of the coin mount to get more , or less light reflected back. It gets rid of that "doubling, that isn't there"!
