    Found this Lincoln today. I think it’s a broad strike.

    It looks like a Misaligned Obverse Die which created a larger gap between the bottom of the bust and the rim. On a centered broadstrike, you'll see a wider gap, but more uniformly about the circumference of the coin.

    LOL - micro mad. Or just a little mad?

    Yes, minor MAD with no real premium. What always popped out at me during a CRH event was the larger gap between the bust and the rim. But unless the cent was a larger diameter, just misaligned.

    Just a normal zinc cent with issues. Hard to fine in circulation.

    That gap is also seen on broadstruck coins, Just for fun. I always look for a split collar in the most expanded area. Just to make sure.
