I have always found this error fascinating, although I dont remember it ever being discussed on the boards.
The apparent doubling on the obverse legend is Machine Doubling, but as a subtype, it would seem to match the definition/description of "Ejection Doubling" ?
The raised metal starts on "REX" and is seen on the rest of the obverse legend. There is also raised metal on the denticles above IMPERATOR and ANNO
Quote: Weak cases of slide doubling found on the reverse face have previously been assigned to "ejection doubling", but there is no way to prove that this is actually what happened.
