Maybe I read to much into the cents, but this does not look normal to me ( what is Normal, don't ask me  )

Mike, I'm not sure what you are referring to with the arrows. Is it the small, horizontal segments in the bays, or, the small projection on the top area of the columns? If it is the latter, a check on the site with the date, and MM should give you the answer you seek. It looks normal to me. hope this help[s.

Are you looking at the top corners of the inside of the bays?
The dies are reversed of the coin so the inside of the bays is the raised part of the die. Then imagine them polishing the die, when they polish it the raised corners get polished off and since the coin is reversed of the die that makes the corner get filled in. That might be what you see?

Those are all high area corners on the die (low incuse areas on the coin) that could be polished away from die polishing.
Some cent's 1998-99-00 show something near the tops of the bays that might be master doubling but it's not worth any premium.
You also might see patial elements of some normal columns that don't show on all modern cents but they are normal.
This pic is showing the normal columns that look doubled on all full strikes. It shows nice on proofs. They are columns in bays 1, 5, 7, 11. Often only bay 5 and 7 show on coins. I numbered them and put arrows to show them. These are not extra columns.
Hope this shows it well enough, see the 4 arrows:

Mike i see what you are referring to, now. having never been there, I can't say if the "projections" are the interior columns, or not. The angle would indicate the presence of them. I hdn't noticed that before. Ed, do you see what Mike is referring to, now?

I think so but it looks similar to the left side of my example, my example is a "normal" one with some polished corners.
Look similar?
Maybe lighting changes the look.
