I can't see the serifs closely enough to know for sure, but I think that it is machine or Mechanical Doubling (MD), rather than a double die, but a nice coin regardless.

I agree. Not a doubled die, but still a sharp looking coin!

Thanks for the comments!
Now, wouldn't it be possible to have DDO with MD on this coin?
I tried to take a better picture but the brightness of the coin makes it very difficult, and this is done with a 5 megapixel camera.
What I got were these pictures, I focused on the D and the date.
The number 1 at the bottom seems to have been damaged again, so it seems that its base is normal.

Because both this coin and the 1980 nickel you posted are not circulation coins. IMHO they are specimen coins removed from a set.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

No, it's still mechanical/machine doubling. Read the Wexler link that I pasted above and look at the examples further down in the article. It's still a neat coin, but just an error caused by the locks on the die coming loose and the planchet moves a little (microseconds) as the die rises up and off the planchet. Once the die is locked back in place the doubling stops.

I'm thinking Machine Doubling.
