1968-S Lincoln Cent

Not sure which doubling this is - I've seen like coins with similar doubling referred to by a variety of different doubling types.

The date has the most prominent doubling while the IN GOD WE TRUST and LIBERTY have minimal. There is also some sort of shadow/doubling to the right of Lincoln's collar and forehead. The reverse has none.



I'm sure this type of doubling is more common than other types.

Is that a scratch under his eye or a die crack that makes him look like he's crying?

 

This is machine doubling and adds no value to the coin, sorry.

It's a dead giveaway when you see identical doubling on both the MM and the date.

 

Thought it was "machine doubling" and yes, it's a die crack under the eye.

 

Sweet! A crying Lincoln.

 

Still, nice doubling on the date even though no added value...

Here's a helpful chart to help distinguish between double die strikes and mechanical, or machine, doubling.
