1964 Penny Reverse Doubling - MD or Variety?

Hi, I have a 1964 penny with some doubling on the reverse, most prominently on STATES of AMERICA and ONE CENT (possibly on the right side of the memorial, too). I wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was, by any chance, a die variety, or nothing more than MD. It's most likely shelf doubling but thought I'd get someone else's take. Hopefully, the pictures are clear enough. Let me know what you think!

    I still remember when I first found my first machine doubling. It was on a 1995 nickel. I was going through coin rolls from the bank. Thought I just found a new DDO or something. Just knew it was worth something, maybe a lot! Pretty excited, really.

    Then came the research part….. yeah, right. That’s when I learned the difference between the actual DD and the example shown above. Felt like a big dummy! Duh!

    I wonder how many people experience the same letdown as I had? Just thinkin….
