1877 Dime DDR or Machine Doubling?

I'm having trouble telling if this is a DDR or Machine Doubling. Please pay particular attention to the D and the serif of the M in DIME. This isn't my coin so I don't have better images to provide. @Rick Stachowski @furryfrog02 @paddyman98

That " D " Dime, sure looks re-punched to me ....

 

What's going on in this area .

 

Here are the only other two photos I have of it; I'm not sure if they help or not:

 

Something is going on between the leaf and rim ?
What, I don't no .
Need better images ..

 

@micbraun any thoughts on the leaf area?

 

As a follow up, there's nothing going on there, just some toning.

What are your thoughts on the M in DIME (serif) and the N in ONE (left side)? The M looks like a repunch of sorts, but the N looks like MD to me.

 

I think it's a good one and here's some info I found .

Very nice and helpful. From what I've seen, I'm thinking F104. Thanks for the assist and another website to bookmark!

 

Me too .....

 

I just had a look at the coin and it's most likely the D reverse. However I don't see the die crack through the date on the obverse. Everything else seems to match the F-104 variety.
