I'm a novice collector. I have a few subscriptions from the mint, when I received my 2016W Silver American Eagle the date field looks odd. I carefully removed it from the capsule and the date looks uneven. While I had it out I looked at the edge lettering and it seems to be triple die at the top. I can't find any posts about an error.

Not to familiar with this series, but thinking the edge lettering is incused and applied at time of the strike(s). Think I read the coins are struck multiple times.
Could be wrong, but I'm thinking Strike Doubling or a slight movement between strikes. Thanks, Doug.
PS:
PSS: Curious is this one a proof or an uncirculated issue?
