I do not believe it is a doubled die. It appears to be some sort of MDD. Just my opinion. Lets see if any of the experts chime in.

I agree with cladhunter13 - it looks like Machine Doubling rather than a true doubled die.

I would still classify yours as MDD kisty. Notice how the metal actually seems to be pushed onto the bust as if the die had shifted or bounced during the strike? I believe that if it was a doubled die...the features of the bust would appear larger/expanded from the doubling.
