It is a normal coin with slight Machine Doubling. Even with a lot of RPMs on a device, the spread would be visible.
Now how the lower half of the mint mark is showing spread? Each punching created a spread. Note on this one you have see one north, and two south. Making it a D/D/D/D
Yours coin is normal with Machine Doubling. When looking for varieties, look for the spread, not the marks on the edge of a device. (Spread means the device is enlarged. looking at the edge of normal coins with Machine Doubling, you just see where the device was reduced even smaller. Looking too hard at something that is not there, will not make it appear. It should leap out at you if it is there)
