Welcome to the Forum

Definitely Machine Doubling. 

A member on another Forum took a survey and found that over 70%  of these series had MD in the reverse bands

.It looks like it would be harder  to find one without MD.

The incidence of machine doubling  (or, "mechanical doubling") appears to increase as press output increases. That is, the faster the press runs, the greater the proportion of coins with mechanical doubling. That makes sense since much of this occurs when the planchet is still settling into the collar at the time it is struck. (See From Mine to Mint for details.)

Hi Gem!

I'm with Greenstang and Roger....you definitely have machine doubling on your coin.
