"Unfortunately the mint mark position on your coin rules out the Coppercoins doubled die as well as Wexler's since they are the same die. Since mint marks were punched into the dies by hand up until and including 1989 the mint mark position of the doubled die and on your coin would have to be exactly the same. Your mint mark looks more south and east than the DD example.
Sorry, but can't really tell about the RPM. This is a time when a close up of the mint mark would be needed in order to tell."
Can't really tell from the pic but it looks like on both sides of the anomaly is incuse which would indicate PSD and when coins take a hit, the hit can either look just incuse like an indented scratch, or the hit can cause metal to move and look like a bump. If I were you, I would just set coins like this aside until you are able to take better pics because it really needs to be up close for us to be able to see better.
Looks like a hit (PSD) to me also... What ever caused it gouged out and displaced some of the metal mostly to the west... That is why it is raised on the west side... Hope that helps a bit!!!
