The difference between the two, it that the devices are enlarged. If they were the same size, it would be machine damage. But these dies are hub doubled, enlarged in the size of the devices.
Here is a 2002-D I found looking to see if other years had the same doubling. I came across this one:
As soon as I found this coin, I knew I had found the first example of this die. So far 3 other examples have been found. Still waiting for more to report in. I found one in Arizona, three were found in Florida.
But note again on the 1909: Note the 1, how it is wider.
Another one:

Note the 1 again, it is wider.
That is the difference. The hub doubling enlarges the devices.
