Harpers Ferry Tilted Hub Doubling?

These Harper Ferry have a lot going on. I see a lot of these on this coin. This one on the H has it on both sides. Would you say this is Tilted Hub doublig? Using ERROR-REF.COM as a reference.

    I don't think it is. These dies were made using the single squeeze process. I don't see how it could leave an extra impression on both sides of the H. My guess is a worn die on the incused letters.

    I'm waiting for others to comment

    Machine doubling on incuse lettering can look like hub doubling. I think that's what's going on here.
