Die Deterioration is usually seen on the devices sides facing the rim. Die wear usually follows this wear pattern.
IE:Poorman's so called doubled die:

RPD's Happened on the 19 Century coins when the date devices were added by hand. On 20th century coins the devices were on the master die. Making an RPD impossible except for the few times two different year hubs were used. So in these cases it was not a punched digit issue, but two different years hubs used.
(The following coin is a faked example, but the inset shows the correct view of the real deal.)

Machine Doubling is usually shown as flat shelf doubling on devices. The devices are not doubled, but damaged when looked at closely.

Not sure what is being pointed to on the 9 in the date, but between the 7 & 8 is a faded die scratch. Die scratches are found on coins struck after a die clash has been polished off of the fields of a die. They start off sharp and defined. Later they flatten with more coin struck. The fields flatten the scratch and they fade into the fields. These may be used to match up known dies or to prove they are from the same die as the scratch in in a different location.

Fading die scratches may remain stronger in areas between the devices and inside of devices. This is what I see on your coin between the 7 & 8 on your date. Hope this helps.
