The die subsidence error matches perfectly except in one of the referenced articles it states that this error does not effect the obverse of the coin and this 1973D has an error on the obverse as well. Is the obverse error unrelated or relative to the reverse die subsidence error? Thanks for your help.

Is the error on the obverse (back of Lincolns jacket) of the coin related to the reverse die subsidence error?

Myisland, I am a novice at best, so would have to let folks that do this for a living give you the best answer. But, in my novice opinion, they are related. I have only seen the humpback paired with this reverse die, never on it's own and find it very hard to believe, there is no correlation. This peon's opinion.  -makecents-

This is the first 1973-D cent I've encountered with a recurring die subsidence error in which the obverse die also shows signs of deformation. I'm not sure if the slight bulge in the field to the left of Lincoln's coat is standard Die Deterioration or a true die deformation error. The step along the back of Lincoln's coat may be Machine Doubling. It would presumably be unrelated to the other defects. Error coin writer and researcher.

Mike, I'll do some digging. I have seen them and am pretty sure I have one.
