Hello, could someone tell me if the flaw before the G is doubling? Or some kind of bubble?

Sure looks interesting. These guys will probably want a closer picture of what is next to the "G" if you can get one.

Ok, this image re-sizing drives me nuts, so it may take me a sec, but will do. Thank you!

If it were doubling, especially that severely offset, you would certainly see it affecting all of the devices around the coin. John1 may have a point there as it looks like there is another significant gas bubble in the field behind Lincoln's head.

I agree with John1 + Or a straight pin might have split the plating. Now there is a zinc pot hole.

This may sound stupid, but what's a "zinc pothole"?

When the plating gets split, the zinc underneath rots away leaving a hole blow the split area. They keep deteriorating with time:
