Looks like possible minor Machine Doubling in US of A. Please orient your pics correctly and give us close-ups of areas you think exhibit this.

@rookie, when I blow up your pics, the image is too pixelated to see doubling. I do see a die crack coming off the corner of the Lincoln Memorial.

Okey. When I look at the coin, the lettering is in SUPER. 3D, not like the other coins that look "flat" to me.

Does this pic help? I'm talking about D in United and S in states. It's probably nothing. Thanks for y'alls help and feedback

But the problem is that you are looking at the edges of the devices. If it were hub doubling (a doubled die) you would need to look at the center of the device to note spread on the devices. It would be wider than normal, not an outside of the edge of the device reduced.
Here is a previous year with a doubled die so you can see what I'm talking about.

Now check back at your coin. The MD is affecting the edges of those two devices. Pushing the devices inwards. On the two image I posted, the devices are enlarged in size. Note the spread on the centers of the devices. On your coin there is a reduction of a normal device that you are looking at. Hope this helps, but Machine Doubling is one of the biggest hurdles a new collector has to take time to figure out. Also note that the devices when affected are more than just one or two devices on the coin. A great portion is affected on a stronger doubled die.

Always glad to help out. I seldom give yes or no answers. I try to tell everyone one what I see on their coin, then they will see what I see.
