Do you see the Error? German Mark

I bought this coin as an error coin. But I can not see the error. Maybe I don't have my eye glasses on right or need new ones. Can you see something wrong with this coin?

    Maybe the seller was Nostradamus and knew he was going to make an error by selling it as an error?image -Dan

    Well I went and got my identical 1 Mark and it looks just like mine. Maybe it is a slightly rotated die? The wording around Reich might have doubling, but could be the lighting. image

    The R & K in MARK seem to slope down a little.

    Anything on the date or mintmark under magnification? Krause lists a "1914/9D" at the same price as the regular 1914D.

    It may well be a re-worked die, as bonkrood noted the r and the k do look like they are out of alignment and the word reich looks to have doubling but without looking at it under magnification I can't be sure.
    I'll take a look at my 14-D tomorrow and see if there is anything on mine.
