An image of the letters STA in STATES on the reverse of a Cent taken too close. The width looks the same from letter to letter. Try pulling away from the coin a little to see what it is overall all. When you get too close it is hard to see what is really going on with the devices.

It is a form of Machine Doubling.

It's hard to tell without examining the coin, but it could be the beginning of a die crack, it could be a planchet line that happens to line up with the sides of the letter, or it could be a split in the plating. It could also be Machine Doubling.

One thing it definitely is not would be a doubled die. The letter is of normal thickness. If it were hub doubled, this would defiitely not be the case.
