Does machine doubling cause edge devices to double or does that mean that the coin was literally struck twice?

I could be wrong but it appears to me that the coin suffered Machine Doubling with a Westward shift of the second strike which resulted in the denticles being doubled on the West side of the coin as well as on the Date. The lower flat portions which are East on the Date is from the original strike and the higher portions of the Date which is shifted Westward, is the secondary Machine Doubling strike.

Awesome! That was my contention too.
Now.. How much more do I have to learn before I can start cherry picking coin shows lol

In other news, I found a first today in a roll of nickels.
1945 Canadian nickel. Beautiful coin.
