One characteristic of MD is thinner letters and numbers. These would be the normal width on true DD. Notice how the 4 in the date and WE look thinner at the high points. That's a good indication you have mechanical doubling.
Yes it looks like machine doubling because I have heard that a lot with the doubling I have sent into get graded. When I get the coins back I keep hearing machine doubling. Well at least we can hope.

Mechanical/machine doubling.
Thanks for the feedback I was hoping for better but maybe the next one!
Very nice pics

The vast majority of doubling you will find is MD. No need to send for grading until you have confirmed that it is a doubled die.
