It is not an error; it is a spender. The coin has sustained some sort of damage, possibly environmental damage.
No. Strike doubling is nothing special. In fact, many consider strike doubling to be damage.
Your photos are very distorted (probably shot through a loupe) but the doubling appears to be strike doubling rather than being struck by a...
What you are describing is a "magician's coin". These usually have two heads or two tails. I have never heard of a silver magician's coin with the...
