1874s trade dollar doubling?

Hard to take a photo of it, this is the clearest letter I could find. But it does appear to have doubling on all of the letters of United, as well as possibly elsewhere on the coin. Thoughts? For reference, it is found as doubling possible here: https://www.pcgs.com/books/silver-dollars/Chapter12Listings-016.aspx. However, it says the doubling is plainest on the "trade dollar" part of the coin, which I did not find on this particular coin.

I think the doubling is clear, but unsure if it is a doubled die, or if it is machine doubling. Thoughts?

Thanks!

    Probably not; however, there at a few unlisted "micro" doubled dies in this series.

    I was viewing a similar TD on ebay a week or two ago with this same U. I felt it was shelf doubling. Is this up on ebay now?

    Looks like shelf/machine doubling to me too.

    That's a really ugly 64.

    I'm not sure what happened there, fat fingers I suppose.

    It's pretty common on T$. I guess it's what people call "shelf" doubling.
