1882-O VAM-36 O/O Center Dubious Listing

I recently picked this 1882 O with what looks like O/O Center but it is listed as a Dubious Listing so before I send up full coin, I could use some opinions on if you think this is machine doubling or an O/O.

Interesting looking. Pictures probably aren't showing the full amount that you can see. Hard to imagine an O/O having such consistent duplicate strikes - i.e., any doubling on the inner left side would correspond to an overstrike with the punch as it was shifted right, only to have a similar event happen in exactly the opposite direction creating the line on the inner right side...

My head spins when I look into nicely struck and unmarred/clean coins because of potential parallax caused by the light source and striking the different reflective surfaces...

Having said this, I am looking forward to seeing more.

I know, I was reluctant to even post it lol but its a head scratcher, along side from same roll a different 82 O looks dramatically different, I will have full images up soon. I might poke it with a stick first....
