There is some kind of doubling all over the reverse.I took only one spot of the coin because that's were you can seen it the most,but it is all over the reverse.SORRY,forgot too put this thread in the error place. Thanks B12
Although it is a little hard to determine 100% with viewing such a small area of the coin with pictures that are slightly out of focus, the doubling appears to be Machine Doubling! Note the thinness of the top and bottom bars of the "D". This indicates pinch-off of the original strike lettering when the Die inadvertently hit the coin again and was slightly out of alignment.

Hi All, Absolutely mechanical doubling. The letters are actually damaged during the strike and as a result appear to be doubled. The metal of the letters is actually scraped up onto itself. Have Fun, Bill
Would that kind of doubling bring the value up? It would just make the value go up a little I'm going to guess.Am I right? B12
Strike doubling. See how the doubling is in lower relief? See how on the serifs the doubling curves into the point? These are the keys to strike doubling (mechanical doubling)...Mike
As to value, slight doubling such as that is very common making the value also only slightly above the coins actual value. Only the famous types of doubling in coins makes the big time values such as the 1955 Lincoln. At coin shows there are usually numerous such coins and pending error collectors wants they go for just a little above the coins actual value.
