I am no expert at all and the last one you should trust for an opinion, but I have found similar doubling and have always been told it is "hub" doubling ( Machine Doubling) due to the lack of "notches"....looks more like the letters have slid in place which would be Machine Doubling. Would like to hear an experts opinion though.

I would say Die Deterioration. Pushed plating is real, but the cent is the only coin we have that is plated.

Quote: Pushed plating is real, but the cent is the only coin we have that is plated. That's true,my bad. But I don't see any metal flow lines for it to be Die Deterioration. John1

The roughness and heavy flow lines around the periphery is an indicator of Die Deterioration. You can see it getting worse from right to left across LIBERTY since there is more die erosion at the periphery than the center of a die.
