Ok so I was just going through my coins and I came across this . Is this an error bc it's same spot on both sides. What do you guys think? I tried getting the best pics I could..
I see what looks like Progressive Indirect Design Transfer (PIDT) on this coin.
This is caused by the repeated pressure of the huge number of strikes the dies make. A slight 'ghost' image can be transferred to the opposite die without the dies touching each other. It's like a die clash, but not as well defined.
I think this is what caused the slight halo effect around the Torch/Olive Branch/Oak Branch on the reverse of your coin with the shape of Roosevelt's bust from the obverse die.
It's considered a form of Die Deterioration and adds no premium to the coin's value.

DDD. (This is a single squeeze die) Possible recovered Feeder Finger Damaged die with die polishing issue coin. Probably minor though. The design is not affected, just the fields.
