I am not good at this, but I can't figure out how only two letters could be doubled besides machine doubling.
Hi, Machine doubling or post mint damage. Look at all the nicks and marks on the face and other parts of the obverse. The L of LIBERTY is also flattened due to damage so it would not be unusual for the B to be damaged as well. Thanks, Bill
Just checked copper coins com, for 1964 D Lincoln cent. And yes there's at least one similar doubling to that B. This doubling in B is too straight to be a MD or a post mint damage. A new variety may-be?
Well, what you think about that? No long time to go I had another 1964 with the same doubling. And look inside of the 4
I am not going to be spending a lot of time taking pictures but i see a thousand coins a week , at least, where the machine doubling is straight and is along the edge of a letter here or there. The comment above saying that doesn't happen doesn't hold any water. It happens all the time. Thanks, Bill
My friend fishaddicit; now it's time to talk about this again. Check my new post 1967 Lincoln where's also another 1964 similar to your coin. In my humble opinion this triple mouth and double eye is in the Die itself.
Carlos it ain't nothing, never will be, could not be, can't be won't be Carlos it ain't nothing, never will be, could not be, can't be, won't be, should not be - it's time to move on. You have a cent worth 1 cent please go spend it and spare us any further misery. You will one day find one just keep looking, they are out there but it's not this one.
As a coin wears from circulation machine doubling loses its shelf like appearance, the edges soften and become rounded. I vote MD on this coin.
