brefos, you got it, Machine Doubling. The extra metal in the bottom of mintmark is the result of the punch. This bar in the bottom loop can be found on several different years of the San Francisco mintmark.

You have the 'upward scoop' type of Machine Doubling which is indicative of eject doubling. The feeder finger that ejected the coin from the striking chamber did so while the coin was still stuck to the obverse die. The coin 'popped' out of the die with force, causing the scooping effect.
