    Anymore pictures of the rest of the coin?

    Looks like die erosion coupled with mechanical doubling.

    On the double die photo, doubling is clearly in one direction and distinct.

    Note the doubling on opposite sides of "O" in "GOD" and blurring on example in question.

    Zinc 1982 penny, worth 1¢ is what I'm seeing.

    "Two things are infinite: human stupidity and the universe; and I'm not sure about the universe."
    -Albert Einstein-

    Mistakes are natural. But repeated mistakes without reflection are something else. That may be the “stupidity” he was referring to. In research, he admitted uncertainty openly. “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” This shows humility. Even a Nobel laureate accepted doubt. That humility makes the quote less cynical and more observational.

    The doubling looks flattened to me... I'd have to go with the machine doubling.
