So I added these last night, but I was too late. Is this Machine Doubling?

appears to be Strike Doubling to me as you suspect. Certainly a later die state. I'm no Kennedy expert tho. More opinions coming soon:)

I also have a 64 Denver minted Kennedy half that shows the same. Problem is, it is encapsulated. Because its in the case would the picture trick me? I would rather not take out of the case

It is MD. The biggest clue? The area you view as doubling is lower than normal than the normal devices. Always a clue. On a doubled die, the spread area is the same height, not flat, not reduced, but showing the spread as enlarged.

The lower area of the MD is the clue as to it not being a doubled die on that area.

Yes, all of them are Machine Doubling. Remember, Machine Doubling always reduces the size of the devices and is shelflike in appearance.
