Looks like it suffers from Mechanical/strike doubling to me. It does not have the characteristics of abraded die doubling. That could explain why the rest of the coin looks so nice.

Hi Bob, if it were strike doubling there would be no "enlarging" of the letters. Here, the letters are larger than normal.

It could be a combination of things, A worn die is a possiblity and would explain the larger letters, but based on the appearances of the letters of GOD and TRUST, I will have to stick by my 'guess' that it involves strike doubling. That's the best I can do based on your photos.

It looks like machine doubling and die wear. Bob is right about this one. It looks interesting, but not a doubled die.

I hate it when I find something and it turns out to be nothing.........
Or when nothing turns out to be something...
