Yea, this one is kind of a fooled, but it is MD. This is a plating issue, not really a bubble like with trapped gasses or debris which causes zinc rot. This is caused by the vibration, a sympathetic effect that moves the plating. You've seen the "ghosting" effect before I'm sure, this is just more pronounced.
Note how inside the 9's are puffed up, same cause. Possible that the plating was loose, not annealed and applied well.

CrazyBo is 100% right. The 2012 (which I'm not familiar with) if it is a DDO, looks to have extra thickness on LIBERTY. Double dies 'add to' devices, it doesn't take way like MD. Zinc rot looks like it adds too but it's just expansion of the zinc as it corrodes. These illustrations may help you:   |

When you look at a doubled device first look at the overall size and shape of the original characteristics of whether it is a number or a letter( best to have a normal coin of same denomination handy for comparison.If the doubling on the device looks flattened with sharper outer edges it is MD ( Machine Doubling) but if the devise has been enlarged in size exhibiting separation line with extra thickness it is Hub doubled ( doubled die).in the following pics. you will see the first coin:1968 Quarter with Machine Doubling and a 1963 Quarter with a Doubled die which clearly exhibits Notches and separation lines in all the devices.hope this was hopeful.   |
