It was caused by a worn die. It’s known as worthless doubling.
I want one!
It’s not a mint error of any type and certainly no lamination issue. Know one at the mint today would have a clue as to what it is. It was minted...
Looks like it’s been replated to me. That area in rotting Lincoln’s nose looks like rust starting to come through again.
The O makes it a better date and worth a little extra. Glad you see what a bezel can do, even if not worn a lot.
It’s a nice close AM and it’s a proof but it’s not a 65 grade.
These two coins are suffering from being zinc and copper plated. Your coin is not an overdate. It’s only worth one cent and barely that in the...

You’re allowed to make mistakes. Nothing to forgive and congratulations on finding all that you have.
I’ve been collecting coins for over 65 years. What is a pinger? The closest noise I know to a ping is the sound of a pinball machine. Welcome to CT.
Nice find, a double mint error.
That should grade VG-8, VG-6 at the lowest. Again, congrats on the find.
