It’s a form of DDD. It appears to be a nice misaligned die strike on the obverse though. http://www.error-ref.com/die-deterioration-doubling-raised/
Die chips are fairly common on earlier Lincoln cents. Here’s the link to cuds on coins. It’s a good reference and has lots of good information....
Looks like die chips in the date and mint mark. The best I can tell from the pictures, the reverse appears to be this: [ATTACH]
From your pictures it appears the ear to a hit. Pretty common. The rest looks like a worn die issue, hard to confirm due to the glare. I don’t...
Denver seems to do a better job than Philly even today. Maybe it’s the machinery? Unfortunately, I just don’t run across any examples here...
Very nice example! I’d love to have both the Denver and Philly over dates. Congrats!
True, but it can be an indication. How would you explain the difference in the die crack at the south end and the north exit crack appears (what I...
I’d have to agree that it’s not a RRDC-10-1940-S. The die cracks are different and the mint mark locations are not the same. You might think about...

I’m with @Paddy54. I’d personally value that at melt plus $10.00 because it’s cool artwork that I like. Artwork is worth whatever someone wants to...
My neighbors favorite is “Pea pickin”! He’ll say it at least 20 times in a ten minute conversation. If he used curse words I’d have to blush......
Welcome again! If you are wanting to collect colonial coins or early US mintage coins I would highly recommend graded and authenticated coins from...
First, welcome to CT! If you want to search coins, go to your local bank and purchase rolls as you can get them for face value. First you need to...
Nice! May be a pre cud or a delamination before strike? I didn’t find any reference on cuds on coins though. It appears the line goes through the...
Where did you hear that information? Do you have a source?
Ok you’re probably right. Why do you think that? I’m not trying to be contrary, just would like a different prospective.
PMD. Pliers probably.
If this were a weak strike, the rims would still look like those on an unstruck planchet (more rounded). Thanks! That’s what I thought by reading...
