This is a very common coin, in fact most likely the largest mintage of this type. This is plagued with counterfeits.

Didn't think too much about it until I looked at it closer

Do you think this is a mechanical or double die?

I'm thinking it's a Doubled Die. Although, I can't help with telling if it's a genuine coin or not.
