Frankly it looks amazingly well preserved for having spent 15 years in a mason jar full of screws. Hardly a mark on it.
Yes it is Machine Doubling, possibly with the doubling occurring on both strikes? (Machine doubling on top of machine doubling?)
None of the pictures are in focus and I can't see anything unusual in them.
I agree they are both wide AM but I think the wider one is from the more worn die and the die has been polished. Polishing the dies will make the...

I think the key is the part of the description about the lettering being closer to the rim. Classic description of a dryer coin. Especially one...
Pictures aren't the greatest but I'm thinking it is real.
Is the Mint actually claiming Perfection now? I have to admit I wouldn't know as I haven't purchased from them since 1975. If they are they are...
Font is wrong, date style is wrong, stars are wrong, bust is wrong, arrangement of the stars on the reverse is wrong, edge is wrong. . . need I...
