is this considered a form of Die Deterioration?

This looks like machine damage to the coin after the strike. Note how the devices are being reduced from what a normal coin would look like? I used side by sides to show MD-normal-doubled dies to help to see what is going on with a coin:

Note on the first image how the MD reduces the size of the device compared with the normal coin. Then note the one on the right how the devices were actually doubled on the die (called a 'Doubled Die') making the devices doubled. What is the difference between the two. The example on the left was struck with a normal die, but the die movement altered the coin after the strike. The example on the right is an example of a die that was hubbed twice, creating a double set of devices on the die. Every coin struck with this die will show the same doubling.

Note that the devices are enlarged.

So the example you have is from a normal die and the one that shows the doubling on the right is an example of a doubled die. (doubled on the die). The cent I posted is a collectable and nice to find in your searches.
