It looks like machine doubling and damage to the 4 . Is that what you were asking about ?

I agree with Daniel.
Please also do not use pictures of the monitor. The details of the coin are sometimes lost in the subtle lines the screen introduces. Taking a screen snapshot ON your computer and then uploading the file that results is not all that hard to do and makes it easier to make a positive ID.
