Sure does look like it. It really follows a distinct curve between the three letters. Almost like the die collar struck the coin.

So here is the definiton of a Mint error from NGC: Mint Error - coins with major mint errors as a result of human or mechanical error during manufacturing.

That being said, you need to do the following; 1. go to the NGC website 2. Select the NGC Research drop down tab 3. Select Variety Plus from the drop down 4. Find your coin by peny type and date. IF it's not listed, they will not grade it as a mint error. I found this out the hardway when I sent in a 1920 Double dated Dime. I paid $15 buck for the mint error grading and they returned it saying it wasn't a recognized mint error by their standards.

Hope this helps you out! 1995 had a double date variety, heres the info:

1995 D DDO 1C FS-103
Variety Diagnostics
This distinct variety has doubling at IN GOD WE TRUST, LIBERTY, the date and the mintmark
