There are many reasons a coin can exhibit doubling.
Die wear, aka die deterioration doubling:
Dies can manifest an off set (shadow like) doubling that can appear raised or incuse depending on the composition of the coins struck. Typically the off set will be strongest along the periphery of the devices and head toward the rims. There may be the manifestation of heavy die flow lines.
