I'm seeing the same thing in all the images of the nose. I can't think of any coin that I know of that has a doubled nose. Probably because the nose is in the deeper area of the die. We often see eyelids doubled and jaw areas doubled. But when a device/profile is disturbed, it pushes the metal in a direction. So the outside edge of the outline of the profile will be affected. On hub doubling you will note the doubling is inside the profile of the bust. Here is what the difference between the two is:

Note the doubling on the image on the left shows the hub doubling inside the profile?
Note the machine damaged example on the right shows how the outside edge of the profile is clipped during the die movement during the strike. This often happens from bounce after the strike and it damages the devices pushing metal upward like a snow plow.

Most of time it is not on the same level as the fields:

Thus the damage reduces the normal size of the devices. On your coin the area you see as a double is the bottom part of the normal location of the device. the moved section looks like it was pushed back raising the metal. All the images of the nose show the same thing to me. Metal pushed backwards on to the nose with a lower area still present. (but reduced)

Thank you Pete2666 and Coop. Okay if I'm reading this right and I'm not to familiar with doubled dies but it machine doubled and of no value? Although I think I will keep it because I'm fascinated with the nose. I've been dabbing into coins on and off for the last few years and I've never seen anything like that :)
