Interesting 2007 P SMS Sac Dollar - Double Strike or MDD?

I found an interesting 2007 P Sac dollar in the batch of mint sets I received last week. It had what I thought was the worst case of mechanical doubling I'd ever seen. But after a closer look - it was certainly different than any regular MDD I'd seen. The doubling was rotational and even on all the letters near the rim on both sides of the coin. I thought it might be something else - so I created a post for it on another forum. It turns out it just might not be MDD after all.
I took a bunch of photos, and rather than post them all again, here is a link to that post on the coppercoins.com site...

And I'll include this one image as a teaser...

What are the chances that PCGS (or any other major grading service) will slab this as a double strike -- as opposed to a body bag as MDD? This forum gets more traffic - and I'd like to hear what you all think of this different sort of Sac.

I tell ya, that first picture is very very interesting. Good find.
I'll let the pro's chime in on what they think it is.
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.

I fixed it - sorry about that.

That is what I want to hear. Somehow, I thought I'd get a lot of "MDD all the way" comments. If it is MDD - it is really different. But I just could not see how the doubling could happen as it appears without a two separate strikes. I'm hoping I can get it slabbed that way.
BTW: DCARR - I looked on your page and saw your quarter designs. Belated congrats on the two selected designs. Bummer that that engraver gets the initials recognition - not the designer. IMO, some of your unselected designs are better than the versions that were used for those states.
FYI: My server was down for a while - so the photos didn't show up. It is up again.

Also -- a question... Are the satin finish coins produced with a single strike -- or does the mint double strike these mint set coins for a deeper/sharper image? Anybody know?

<< <i>No expert opinions on this one? It looks a lot like MDD and the first attributors I showed photos to said it was MDD. But if you read any of the debate on the Coppercoins forum -- the argument ended with a lean towards double struck in collar. If this coin stands a chance at getting slabbed as double struck - I'll send it in. But if it will just be body bagged as MDD - I'd rather not waste my money.

I'm really suprised no one can come up with a definite and complete answer as to whether the mint set coins are double struck or not.I would venture to guess they are considering the supposed quality of them.In looking at all the pictures of your Sac it would indicate a double strike coin indeed..
It is cool that the coin made CW -- but they need to learn to crop photos. They shrunk my images down so much that there is not much to see. Here are links to the full size images -- much more impressive.

Mike Diamond posted his findings on the Coppercoins.com thread I started. If you are intersted it reading why he thinks it is a D/S and not MD, here is a link...

He is also doing an article for Errorscope on it, with a more detailed analysis.
