Can anyone explain what has happened here? I have a few coins where this is quite pronounced. I usually don't search US coins and haven't seen this before. Some type of doubling?

Thank you!

That is split plating. The plating is cut during the strike exposing the zinc underneath. The gray is the zinc. When it is exposed, then the starts to deteriorate.

Wow, Coop, you've come through again. A bevy of information. I guess there is no premium on these?

Thanks,
Steve

Happens often because the striking pressure is too strong. They start of break down more in time, so no premium for these.
