I don't think it's a doubled die but it's hard to see in the pics.
Be sure to look close at the date, there are about 6 hard to spot overdates for that year and some have what looks like a filled 3 (or blobs in the 3). Look for any signs of a 2 between the 8-3 or anything below any digits.

Ken, I see something on the "U" in trust, but it isn't clearr enough for me to say for sure. The reverse could be MD, judging from the star, and the lettering.

I don't see anything doubled on the date.
Of all U.S. coins, the shield nickels are the most common to have longacre doubling. Almost all the nickels I have seen to date have it to some degree. It's less normal to find one that does NOT have the Longacre doubling.
