    Looks like Mechanical doubling, very common on this date/mm. Flat doubling. Jim

    Yes, in that the thickness of the letter is diminished as the flat part is not made by the die that struck the coin, so instead of one leg of a letter (say the E) having all parts the same thickness as others of same design, there will be a raised part that is thinner than normal adjacent to a sheared part ( flat appearing) of lesser size which is not part of die design. Compared to a true Doubled die where one part will be normal and there is additional raised/rounded part ( Doubled) due to the die, so the 2 together is thicker than the standard design. Some of these are only detected by the "Fat" letters or numbers as the separation is hard to see. IMO, Jim
