No. This is MD. Mechanical/Machine/Strike doubling…it has to do with the movement or shift of the planchet as it is being struck. Flat and shelf-like, not hub doubling.

Go to Wexler and study his section on “Worthless Doubling”…imo…Spark

 

yes indeed will check him out thanks

 

Not a doubled die but it is MD or mechanical doubling. MD hold no extra value and it is very common.

 

I'm not even seeing much MD. Grasping at imaginary straws.

Could be the WWHO
But will need a full shot of the obverse to tell

 

…and some close-ups of IGWT would help, too. But nothing but Md on the reverse…imo…Spark
