Hopefully these pictures help. Looks like doubling on the A and T in STATES. I only found a 1973-S with doubling listed, not a D. I Googled it and found other people with similar pictures that were determined to be Machine Doubling, but I would expect more letters to be affected.

I also found one of these sold on ebay, so... thoughts?

I looked long and hard at your photos and I just can't see it well enough to form an opinion. I figured I would wait for somebody else to comment, but so far .... **(No Zip Files Allowed)** .

I DO see something but it just isn't clear from the photos. It is very hard to get a good coin photo and I can only imagine how hard it is got get a photo of doubling.

My guess (and I'm no expert) is that it is the result of a worn die. And if it were my coin, I'd keep it just in case I was wrong about it being a worn die.
