  I am by far not an expert on varieties, but it looks like a small doubling.

  I don' see any evidence of a doubled die;
  there is minor ejection or mechanical
  doubling, which is a very common effect
  on all denominations, and most dates, of
  US coinage.

  Check out the Appendix of the CherryPicker's
  Guide to Die Varieties - it will show the difference
  between the different types of Doubled Dies,
  and ejection/mechanical doubling.

  Thanks for the lesson FredWeinberg! I clearly see the shelf like appearance now. This is fascinating to me.

  Fred is the expert here - and in the hobby - so you can count on his opinion... Cheers, RickO
