    I guess it's machine doubling but it's interesting.

    Yep, machine doubling. Notice the flat shelf of the letters and numerals. Also notice the mintmark is doubled; if the coin was a DDO the mintmark would not be doubled because the mintmark was added by hand after the die was created.

    Thats not weird.

    Thats typical for 1969-S Lincolns. Well, that and a boatload of die scratches.
