I'm sure God has blessed you, but not sure with what. Can you get a clearer picture?

Here are two new pictures. The darker picture I believe shows that the doubled area is raised. The lighter picture gives a clearer image of the hair strand shape of the doubled area. Hope this helps. Images in a minute have to crop them  |

Not convinced it is doubled. An in focus photo might help!

Here is the clearest picture I could come up with. In hand it is clearly a doubled die in my opinion. It has the same look as the 2013 Mount Rushmore Quarter doubling in that it is a raised oval/line rounded. it appears to be almost an extension of the bottom lock of hair, almost connected to it. Hope this helps.  |

The outline area of the bust or the building can show die polishing that raises the edge of those devices. The polishing alters the edge and bit and removes part of the field. When this happens it leaves a raised area on the coin struck. Not hub doubling so they are not doubled dies. I believe that is what you are seeing on that area.

I can see polishing doing that when I look at the extreme close up. Thanks all. :) Since the polishing happens at the mint, it would still be considered a legitimate variety right? It would be something like the 2005 detached leg bison nickel then. I would call it 2007 P Extra Hair or 2007 P Long Hair. What type of variety would it be considered, like the term for polishing varieties?

An over polished die error coin

Likely not an error, but just a heavy hand with dressing an aging die. Keep in mind that cracks, chips, etc. are part of the life of a die. It will eventually display some type of 'witness mark' (or multiple marks) over time.
