is this a double die obverse?

[jescofield]

it looks like doubling to me but im not sure. i see it the most on liberty and on 1984 D

It's hard even to identify as an effect, given the lighting issues, but I don't see anything there that is characteristic of a double die. Machine doubling, perhaps.

[jescofield]

how can i tell the difference between machine doubling and double dies?

Better description than I can give.
