Can anyone advise what I'm seeing in the 4 in the date?
I could not find any info on a date doubling for the 1974 D obverse. I don't think it is a rpm on the 4 only, but cannot think what it might be punched over, if indeed it is punched over something.
See those lines radiating towards the rim? Metal flow/deterioration. The die is stretching and devices are pulled apart. See it on the mintmark as well.
