Ink Smear Error Or Just Ink?

Your pictures are fine.
I can't see how that could happen when the note was printed
and I have never seen an ink smear like that so I am saying that
it was damaged after it was put into circulation.
It would be be hard to prove that it was done during the printing process.

I see Die Deterioration Doubling, Machine Doubling and Split Plate Doubling..
Can't say if there is a Ridge Ring without a complete photo.
Unusual to have three different types off worthless doubling on the same coin.

Delamination.
A planchet that has become delaminated before the coin was struck.

I think you mean that all 1999D cents are CAM.
The 1999 cents have both WAM & CAM.

It has to be a 1992, all 1993s are a CAM and that is clearly a WAM

It is called a "Ridge Ring" caused by a worn die.
No premium as it is part of the minting process.

Looks normal to me.
If it were Double Punched, it would show on the whole mintmark, not just part of it.

Reduce the size to 5X and see if you can still see it.
Any photo of a coin that has been blown up that much is
sure to show some small anomalies.

Been done after the coin left the mint.
Edge of the rim too straight, no dovetail effect.

To the CCF

Please show a photo of the complete bill oriented properly.
From what I can see, it may be slightly offset.

Even if it was damaged at the mint which is highly unlikely,
it is still damage no matter where it was done.
Too bad on such a nice IH.

Being in a bezel usually causes damage to the rims.
See if you can remove it before it can be evaluated.

Also the Bugs Bunny is a variety, not an error, big difference.

Always show both sides of the coin when asking questions.

What you have looks like a stain. Certainly not a cud and not
sure what you mean by " the alignment is exactly flipped".
