I really do not have much experience in this field, but looking at this coin it seems to me like there's some doubling on 5th and 8th column (left to right).
What do you guys think?
I did some experimenting with scanner at work, but not too much because it's at work :)

i think what you are seeing is a normal part of the design - intended to creat the illusion of "depth" in the memorial building. if I am wrong - there will be some experts along - to correct my opinion.

Part of the design. Also seen on the inside of the first and last columns as well. Thanks, Doug.

The die that created your coin was so over polished, it has even made the columns irregular in shape. So it is the result from a die that received a lot of clashes and they removed progressively. Leaving the shallow devices being removed in the bays.
