looks like strike doubling,from the picture shown,if it were larger and more clear,along with references of the date,it would be a bit easier to research

 

sorry, camera glare, here's another pic, double click to enlarge. thanks

 

Yeah it definitely looks like a doubling. Is that an Eisenhower Dollar? If so what year?

 

The first photo appears like strike doubling -- not an error, per-se.

The second photo has me a bit confused, but also appears to be strike doubling.

 

Without looking at the coin in hand and going just by the images you have provided, this appears to be a classic example of machine doubling, often referred to as ejection doubling and occurs during the striking process and not a product of a die that was doubled during a hubbing process. The shelf like step appears randomly and will not be successively struck on every coin.

Happy collecting.

I've been know on occasion to be wrong.

 

Machine Doubling Damage. Notice the doubled area is flattened, and no separation of the body of the letters.

yup.

 

But, this time I don't think you are.

Thanks everyone, I agree with machine doubling. Coin will make good conversation piece / learning tool to share with others.
