    Looks like die erosion coupled with mechanical doubling.

    On the double die photo, doubling is clearly in one direction and distinct.

    Note the doubling on opposite sides of "O" in "GOD" and blurring on example in question.

    Zinc 1982 penny, worth 1¢ is what I'm seeing.

    A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

    The doubling looks flattened to me... I'd have to go with the machine doubling.
