Looks like machine damage rather than doubling to me; flat/shelf like.

Jprine:
After researching machine damage (MD), I would have to agree. Got this from a site:
"MD can impact as little as one letter or whole parts of the coin. It can be random or mimic classes of Doubled Dies in appearance.
If the mintmark is doubled similarly to the date, odds are very high it is MD. One must remember mintmarks were added to the die AFTER they were impressed with a HUB. What that means is the die is doubled BEFORE the mintmark was punched into the die.
This is true for all denominations of coins until 1989 as the Mint stopped punching mintmarks in 1990."
