It was Machine Doubling and circulation flattening and coin wear (vending machine damaged) altered it from what it looked like at first. Not a doubled die. Note the affected areas are making those devices smaller in size. On a doubled die, the devices are enlarged on the die, thus the spread will be the same on each coin. Machine Doubling can happen on normal dies and also on doubled dies because it is the machine that creates this. Not the dies.
No, very common. MD is caused by the machine and not by the strike. The strike happens, wacks the struck coin right after the strike from the machine being loose. Just a spender.
