It appears to MD, it seems to show on the rest of the date and what I can see of the word trust although it might be the photo

It looks like MD to me from wear on the die.

here is the closest I can get. I don't see a flat shelf that MD shows.   |

There are two major forms of MD. When the die accidentally jiggles a bit, it flattens parts of the devices leaving a partial shelf-like area. The other form is from wear on the die that manifests itself in various ways.

If so it is repeatable and a die variety? In various stages of wear?

Yes, the die was worn at the edge of the device, if it was Machine Doubled due to die movement, it would follow the the device much closer (without the curve). Ironically both forms of MD are categorized as Strike Doubling. The extra movement, thought to be from a loose die, is sub-categorized as Strike Doubling also. |

Not a variety, it constantly evolves with further wear. It is a mint error, damage can only occur after the stike, it's an Over-used Die error. This type of error is common, and only generates interest in extreme examples. Here's an example of collectable Strike Doubling.  Edited by CoinMasters

So just like a die crack that evolves over time? Both attributable to over use.
