The date and mint mark appears to be flat and shelf like . I would say Machine Doubling.

Yes, classic Machine Doubling. The '69 S cent is notorious for this. Some examples are rather cool.

Notice the reduced device, that is Machine Doubling.
If it was a Doubled Die, the device would be larger.
A good example is to look at the 9's in the date. The
second 9 is normal whereas the first 9 is reduced as
Machine Doubling. If this was a Doubled Die, the
first 9 would be larger than the second 9.
