Does this look like doubling on the neck?

It looks like doubling, but it is machine doubling and not die doubling. The machine was loose and made different variations of machine doubling, when noticed by the operator, he/she tightened it and the coins were normal just as before the machinery got loose. If you look at the right side of the date, the 9 & 6 also are doubled. If you check on the reverse I bet there is also the same step down looking machine doubling. I've seen it so strong that all letters were affect on the reverse and certain ones on the obverse. So it is doubling, just not the valuable type.
