Note the devices are reduced smaller than the normal size. Note what you are seeing as a shelf? That is part of the normal device size. All the outside edges are affected by reduction.removal of the normal contour that was there and not is damaged by the machine. On a doubled die, the devices are enlarged in the centers of the devices. Note the side by sides of a normal set of devices and the enlarged in the center devices of a doubled die.

Spread is what makes a doubled die. A device altered on the outside edge is Machine Doubling.

TY COOP. question, if there is very little to no spread, how would I know if it is a doubled die. I think the only way I can tell is by the spread until I get the hang of it

I feel like coins that are in rough shape it's difficult to tell. It seems like ideally you need to find a coin in relatively good shape in order to see the details clearly

If it is too minor, little interest will be shown. When you look too hard to find something, then it is not a real worth doubled die. (I still save them) But they have to be strong and see with a 10X glass, before a true error collector to even consider the coin. The larger the spread, the more in demand they are.
Even strong doubled dies can take a while to figure them out:

These are examples of two different dies. While on this area they look the same, but slight differences is what you have to pick out. But on different ares, the doubled die are real different.
Same dies different areas:

So spread is different between different attributed die numbers. That is why all areas of the coin devices must be an exact match to be from the same die.
