Machine doubling, not a doubled die. No numismatic premium. Cheers, RickO
Mechanical doubling.
Please read the linked information multiple times and look at the pictures. It should be of immense help. https://www.doubleddie.com/144801.html

It's good to see that you're checking the resources for exact matches. However, you really need to develop a better understanding of the characteristics for true doubled dies.
There are many, many, many coins in circulation that have mechanical or die deterioration doubling, but very few that have true die doubling (and most of those will need magnification to see)
If you check the characteristics on Wexler's site, you'll easily see your coin has MD. Flat, shelf-like surfaces, no notching or split serifs, and thinner letters/devices. I understand it's going to take some time to learn this, but if you want to search for doubled dies, this will keep you from wasting time on worthless doubling

On the bright side, those are some nice and clear images.
