Looks like MD or ejection doubling to me.

When looking at a coin for doubled dies, keep in mind this fact: If a die received an improper hubbing, the devices would be enlarged. Sometimes a lot and other times just a little. But when looking at your coin, the devices are normal sized. The areas you are seeing as doubled are actually reducing the size of the devices. Note on GOD, these are actually reducing the devices. Here is an example of hub doubling on a 1982 cent compared with a normal cent from the same year.

Note the overall shape of the top image. That is the normal size of the devices for this year. Now look again at yours. They same overall size of the devices are on your coin, but are being reduced by the machine damage during the strike. But note on my lower image. That is the doubled die. Note how the spread can easily be seen on these devices. Also the other devices in the same areas are affected:

A lot of people think they have a doubled die on this year because the devices a fuller than other years. But keep in mint that MD can affect just one device or a few others. This will occur on one coin because the die is normal and the MD can alter each coin differently. (even making some normal, depending on the strike) But on a doubled die, the doubling is on the die so each coin struck will have the same doubling on it each strike. Hope this helps.

Well heck... I see those ballooned like that frequently but since I couldn't see a separating line on them I passed them by.
