Hey guys new to the forum and fairly new to searching Jefferson rolls, I got a bank box today and found several good coins. One 1939 had me puzzled...any help on what type of error or variety would be appreciated
Thanks!

Welcome to the forum. That is interesting.
The secondary E in the field seems larger than the E of EPU and is surrounded by a rectangle.
Is the Rectangular area set below the surface of the field or is it raised in relief?
And is the E in question Raised or incuse (recessed) into the surrounding metal?
I'm leaning towards PSD (post strike damage) but others much more knowledgeable than I will be able to offer some better insight.
