Still learning and I believe this to be Machine Doubling or is it something else?

Thanks John! I'm happy to be learning! Sorry about pics but, it was the best I could get with my mediocre camera.

Machine doubling. Note the devices are reduced, flattened. (the contour was damaged and made flat) Note the mint mark as well. A second sure sign it is MD is that the same direction of the MD on the date and mint mark are the same, it is Machine Doubling. Machine Doubling can also be seen on doubled dies also. No premium for this. Spendable unless you are saving copper.

So, yes any tips would be appreciated. I'm not real impressed with it although, the reviews were fairly good. It did, however, only cost around $70

The flatness of the first strike indicated MD.

You are correct, MD. Devices reduced in size with flat shelflike doubling.
