Neat error and nice photos. I think this would be a double strike with the second strike off-center and uniface reverse. No brockage here.

My question has to do with the distorted section. Does the effect of the stretched letters from the original strike have a numismatic name or term?  I'm just confused with the eight different types of Brockage/Counter Brockage or if what's seen here even has anything to do with these terms.

A brockage is a design transfer from a coin (or Grease Fill) to a planchet. While that area does look like a brockage, the stretched design was already there with the initial strike imparted from the die itself. So it's a uniface strike over a previously struck coin. Brockages are incuse and mirrored and counterbrockages or normally oriented design.

Thanks to everyone for the replies and comments. An extra thank you to CoinHI and tropicalbats for helping me understand the Brockage issue. I'm still learning from the experts here on CCF and owe so many members here so much for all of the help given over the last 14 years! Someday in the not-too-distant future, I will have forgotten more about errors than I currently know, and I'll have everyone at CCF to thank for it!

@John1 It's a ELIKLIV 10.1" LCD HDMI Digital Microscope +10" Enhanced Stand with a 32GB Card and Remote Model DM202. I paid $160 when I bought it, but that was a couple of years ago. The 10" stand makes it possible to get a full image of a 30.61 mm coin (US Half Dollar) in sharp focus.
Almost forgot, this is a 32 MP capture at 5376 x 3024 72 ppi. I use Photoshop CS5/6 to edit the images. Once the image is cropped as close to the coin as possible, I resize to 1800 x 950 then reduce the Image Quality to 0 so that the JPG can be saved for CCF at less than the 300KB size limit. I usually get anywhere from 150 to 300 KB images.
