Please help with IDing

I just started coin hunting about 2 weeks ago and today I found what seems to be an error, but I can't figure out what. Is this a D over S, D over P, Double die.....? It look as if the 1,7,8, and D are all doubled possibly? Any help with this would be great!!

Looks like machine doubling.

I haven't tried that, but thank you for the advice. I'm going to try and hit that up now.

I'm so new to this that I asked a friend how he spots good finds like proofs, and he said that he looks at the date and follows with the mint mark. I tried it and on my first box saw a small blemish under the D, that's when I noticed the numbers too. I must have looked at it about 5 times after I finished my box trying to figure it out.
