What is going with this Lincoln? Any ideas

Hello everyone

Just wondering what might have caused this. It does not appear to be PMD



Thanks

The doubling on the letters is Machine Damage Doubling (MDD). The bump on the left 9 looks like a die chip but I think it might also have been hit at one point since it looks sort of crushed. I can't tell what is going on with the right 9, maybe another die chip?

Totally agree

from the pics i have to agree, die gouge/chip.

I agree that we're seeing die gouges or chips coupled by possible die deterioration doubling. It coud be machine doubling but the die gounges hint at an over-used die.
