Also some letters (2 Os & an A) seem to have an extra piece of metal on them?

Compare your coin with those on the above sites.
You can also check the difference between real Doubled Dies and worthless doubling on
www.doubleddie.com which is an excellent teaching site.

 

Hi
Imho, it looks mad ( misaligned die strike) please also check out the above websites as mentioned by
@thomas mozzillo . Lots of great information there.
Nice b/w pics.

 

Would a mad cause those extra metal pieces on the reverse, or by definition it only effects obverse?

 

Could you post more pics!

 

A very minor mis-aligned obv. die.

 

Pretty coin but it really should say "In God SOME Trust"...

 

Could both the obverse & reverse be a misaligned die strike? I see the rim misaligned on both front & back

 

Yes ,it is possible to have the hammer and anvil die to cause a dual misalignment. Check this website on mad. Interesting write up.

thanks! are these vertical lines on the reverse caused by this as well?

 

Those are striations caused by the pressure of the strike.

 

thanks! i think its beautiful

 

Ok so I'm thinking this coin may be the same thing... But what would these dots on L side of obverse be from?

 

Collar clash.

 

thanks!

 

Yes, collar clash. Nice example.
