Is this a genuine double strike? (Large Photos)

I'm glad I'm getting a hang of my camera, and can take semi-decent photos now
I picked this up today, but for some reason it strikes me as a bit off. I can't figure it out, but I'm hoping someone would be willing to help me out on this!
Also, on the off-center strike, parts of "RTY" especially at the "T" seems doubled. I know that the stretch is the result of it being struck a second time, but do doubled letters on the stretch indicate more than one strike?
Thanks again for your help!

the doubling you see is from deteriorating dies
not a `second strike`
After re-reading my question, I found that it was very poorly worded and I apologize for that

The second strike started where you see the "T above the the "T" but as the dies press down, the coin slipped creating the metal flow you see.
