I checked on Wexler's to no avail. Also, almost looks like doubling on the obverse. But, somethings not quite right with the reverse. Anybody have a clue?

Determining Die Doubling from Other Forms of Doubling by J.T. Stanton, NLG
“Introduction
Explaining the difference between die doubling (doubled dies, repunched dates, repunched mintmarks among others) and the more confusing forms of doubling can be very challenging and even more difficult for a novice to comprehend. Additionally, there are times when determining the difference can be frustrating for even a very experienced collector.”More at:

Did you **read the aricle by JT Stanton on doubling?

No, but I will check it out. Thank you
@hemispherical. Yes I was pretty sure that it wasn’t a doubled die, Don’t know why I included that picture. But my main question is what is that extra hunk of copper on the reverse.
@Hemispherical . Thanks for the link I will read it later tonight when I get home.
@giantsfan20 ...Tank you...
Possibly a piece of the die chipped off in between the columns.
@Hemispherical. Okay I only missed one, #8 which was actually rpm and not strike doubling. But, it never explained why the dies get doubling on them. I'm open to more reads if you have them handy otherwise I will start strike googling, Thanks again!
I think the "chunk" between the columns is the result of a slightly rotated die clash.

Thanks @ChrisH821 that is a good reference for die clashes!
Here you go: http://www.error-ref.com/doubled-dies/
“Definition: A doubled die (hub doubling) is caused by a misalignment or a mismatch between a working hub and a working die. The misalignment or mismatch occurs between a first and subsequent hubbing or sometimes in the course of a single hubbing. Misalignments can occur along three orthogonal planes and three orthogonal axes. Doubled dies that are the result of a misalignment are variously characterized as rotated, offset, pivoted, or tilted. Doubled dies that are the result of a design mismatch are variously characterized as “distended”, “distorted”, “modified” and “design hub doubling”. A total of eight classes are recognized.”
@chrisH821 @Hemispherical Thanks guys I'll read those next. I just read 4 or 5 articles on the whole process and who knew they used horses to make coins. But, that paragraph above specifically tilted makes sense in how just part of the die can receive a double image. I'll need to read these others for more clarity. Don't tell nobody but, I actually thought the coins were double struck, lol.
I think it's die clashing also.
It does look as if it could be the result of a die clash.... an overlay of the obverse would help to answer the question... Cheers, RickO

I feel like I...missed something.
@Hemispherical . Great articles nonetheless.
