One dreamer nailed it. Photoshopped with layers and shift. Can tell from right side is opaque. Nice try ace, can't snow the snowman!

@crazyb0

The 2nd image was edited, in an attempt to show the location of the faint secondary images that I see. Pls try and edit the 1st image, duplicate and reduce opacity and place it exactly where I placed mine (as seen on the 2nd image). On your photo editor hide the image with reduced opacity then unhide to see that there are faint traces of what seems to be secondary image embedded on the coin. I am new to collecting coins and has very little knowledge about mint errors. That's why I'm asking if it's possible for something like this to happen?

Here are some of the doubling that are more prominent.

-G,O, and D of "IN GOD WE TRUST" are labeled A,B and C.
-The eye is labeled D and E for the nose.
-You can clearly see the "RTY" of LIBERTY which are labeled H,G, and F.

Are these doubling or just coincedencial post mint damage?

Same coin. Pointed using an arrow.
There is a raised area of what looks like an 8 or S. Is this normal or just another post mint damage? Sorry for asking too many questions. This coin got my attention because it looks unusual.

It seems like you have more understanding of the coin hobby than you take credit for. And you can expound your knowledge more by learning from the experts. That's how I am learning. If the expert states you have a normal coin, take the comment then start coin hunting again. By the way, the toning on your coin is attractive, very colorful. Nice coin. Aizen, I will be posting a 1973 LMC, let us see what the experts will say. Enjoy the hobby.
