Is this a doubled die or is it a die bounce? Only the date and mintmark are doubled, the rest of the coin is normal (although the "P" of PLURIBUS looks a little bit like doubled, but in my opinion this is only "lookalike".
Yes you are correct about the die bounce during the strike that cause the Machine Doubling. This is actually damage on the coin because of movement of the dies.
