This penny looks like it's doubled on the date, the mm, Liberty and the Motto.
Is it DD or Machine doubling, and how to tell the difference. Would appreciate feedback.
This is my first posting. Thanks

Welcome!

Please send some time studying doubling at error-ref.com. You will then be able to ID the legit types of collectable doubling vs. the other types which occur commonly and add no value. And you WILL find more of the them when searching coins😊
