I'm almost 100 percent it was struck 2 xtra times with the same die, you can tell from the Y and the overlay that helps me. I don't know what it was hit with the next time...foreign possibly?
@mc, some of these DDOs are pretty subtle, but I'm not seeign any disparity on the thickness of the arms in the letter Y. On what design elements do you see doubling?

These pics don't show his chin has a gold metal on it as well spot down his chest. Either it was hit with a gold colored coin or I'm seeing things again...
Ok hmm not sure and I can't see anything when I blow up your pics. With this level of wear, it is most likely a circulation hit that transferred some material to this cent.
