What you are seeing is the result of die wear. Doubled dies have a different look to them. And, IMO, there are only a few doubled dies that have any real value. I would concentrate on those more than searching for minor ones.

It's die cavitation, which occurs when a die has been in the press for a good while. The areas near the rim begin to stretch, and with it so does the peripheral elements of the coin.
