An explanation of what you're referring to would be a great help. Although I don't collect errors, I'm not seeing anything that would be classified as a valuable error.
Looks like machine doubling to me.
Those super magnified pictures are hard to make out, but from the others it looks like it has some machine doubling, it's a common occurrence caused by movement between the coin and the die when it is ejected.

Your best bet is to stop using a microscope to look for varieties (doubled dies, RPMs) or errors.
Then spend some time at Variety Vista (http://varietyvista.com/index.htm), Wexler's, or some similar site determining which dates actually have varieties worth looking for, and then search for those. For errors take a look at https://www.error-ref.com/error_and_variety_check_list/
It would also be worth spending some time understanding the minting process, which is at industrial scale:

Do you know what you are looking for or are you just searching? What you have posted here is just extreme die erosion which can often mimic doubling similar to strike/mechanical doubling. These forms of doubling are worthless and are not true hub doubling. You are wasting your time if you don't know what true hub doubling is.

You are wasting your time and eyesight looking for "errors" like this.
