    I have a question about these lincoln memorial cents I keep on finding in chance. I notice that almost every lincoln cent in my change minted from roughly 1990-2008 has this kind of fairly strong doubling on the pillers. I'm not sure how it is caused though. Is this MD, Hub Doubling, or something else. They are so common for me that I don't even keep them or else I would be keeping half my change, just wondering what you think?

    Not my photo just random photo from internet with a photo of what I find.

    It is hub doubling. The die was slightly tilted and then snaps back into proper alignment. Leaving a doubled die. There are many, I have over 4 rolls that I have not found listed yet. But some are interesting.

    Some are listed on the coppercoins.com site.

    Thanks, That was what I was guessing. I have found some pretty dramatic and interesting ones, I started setting some aside in the past month.
