It's a good one to research. I remember some years ago that this was in a discussion where machine doubling (bump) and actual incuse doubling...
On incused doubled dies, I believe the incuse devices are reduced and outlines become irregular.
Flip worthy...fun find. Not valuable, but some premium. Die deterioration and grease filled as Furry notes. You'll note that the tops of the...
I’m only seeing a pair of cleaned coins with die deterioration and blisters/split plating. The 85 D is a bit of a MAD cent.
To affect Lincoln's jacket, the die crash would need to be pretty massive. Stronger clashes will leave the memorial bays on the obverse of the...
Which 2004 do you have? The boat or the handshake? The handshake has a DDO associated with it, so if you find that you have some in high grade,...
I'm not seeing a clash either. Are these the right specimens?

The flat-shelflike 'separation' is machine damage. A tiny wobble in the tool/press during the strike leaves a smear on the devices. Outer...
It really sucks when you find that effect on a decent date. I recently found a 1909 VDB that had scale corrosion like that. The seller had it...

Wow!! That was a great CRH event!! Lots of excitement for you and fun for us to see your wins!! Just mentioned to @mike estes that his turn was...
You'll see this often enough when you CRH. Probably a pair of diagonal cutter marks. Add in a few well placed strikes on the rim, you have a...
Looks like a bunch of grime between the letters. You'll note that the L and B for this ODV appear larger than the rest of the letters in LIBERTY....
Stamped?? Or printed?? Oh the English Language...keeps us guessing.
If you CRH a bit, you'll find these counter stamped cents often enough. Many with JFK...many with states in the union...many with a pipe. People...
Check this out - Lincoln Cent Die Breaks Called “BIE” : Cuds on Coins (cuds-on-coins.com) I didn't see a match on a quick look, but do a check....
@chris jarrell I came across this and thought I'd pass it along, just in case. Do you see anything? FDC-1c-1993-01 : Mad Die Clashes Edit: I...
Another beauty!! Well done!!
