Well, the first image makes the coin look reprocessed. And from the second image, it looks like die erosion which would tend to happen on the right side of the mint mark.

Still, it might be real.

JRocco

This looks to be caused by die erosion.
Keep this to the top so Pharmer can see it. He has some great examples and pics of the real deal.

You can see it on all the digits of the date in the first pic too, which would be another indication of mechanical doubling.

Yo ho ho, maties, just back from sailing in the Bahamas, blessedly out of touch. JRocco is right. Now, this is commonly seen in this direction like Shamika says, and there is a seller on eBay who has been pawning these off as rpm-4. His are in ngc slabs, but without attribution, natch, since they are not an rpm at all. For some reason he doesn't appreciate me pointing this out to him.

I also think it's plated, which makes the "doubled" appearance seem even more dramatic.
