Hello, what type of doubling do we have on this 1974 Nederland coin? I believe this coin has been demonetized since Nederland joined the Eurozone. Thanks

Hi, the coin is not a double die. Here are some microscope shots which shows that it is a Die Deterioration Doubling. The oddity involves all the letters on the obverse. The is a classical example like the one on the obverse of a 1992P Washington 25c. You can see and learn more about it at Ken Potter's Educational Series "Other forms of doubling". Thanks
Great detail shots! those lumpy raised areas look more like severe die wear. If a doubled die somehow had greater offset on the top of letters than the base, you should at least see distinct serif separation, vs a big blob heaped on the letters.
