Doubled Motto on 09-S VDB?

speety

I was taking pics with my new lense and noticed some of the letters in the motto of our 09-S VDB lincoln seem to be doubled? Most notably are the US of trust and also on the 'GOD'. Also, there appears to be some clashing above 'IN' with the E PLURIBUS UNUM. Is this common on the S-VDB? Also, i know little to nothing about shelf doubling, but i thought that shelf showed on the entire coin(?) and on my coin the only evident doubling is on the motto. Does this appear to be shelf doubling?

Thanks and any info is appreciated,
Mark



P.S. i'll try to get more/better pics tomorrow or saturday.

Looks like machine doubling to me - someone could probably explain it better than I, but when the doubled letters look shelved & flat like that, they are usually a product of strike and not die. Still a neat coin!!
