1992 D double die possibility

Stewmaster

What do you guys think, is this 1992 D a double die? The pictures aren't the best but I think you can see, it's strongest in the second half of America. Slight on the D and and the right upper corner of the memorial building. If these aren't good enough I can try to get it through the magnifier. Thanks for any insight you may have!!

I think what you're seeing is the plating pulled away from the letters during the strike. This can give the illusion of doubling.

Difficult without the coin in hand, however doesn't look like a doubled die. May be slight mechanical/ejection doubling which is common.

That makes sense, that's why the area around the letters is silver in color because the zinc is exposed?
