    This Lincoln is weird to me and I can't figure it out . The inverse is.in great condition but the reverse looks like it is damaged and has been slid on and grinded from someone but that case usually means the coin will be.rough from the damage but this coin is completly slick and shiny like its.brand new from mint. Also the lettering looks all die cud but looks doubled die, also showing rim cuds . It being like this is confusing cause the slickness of the reverse where it looks damaged and not rough . Check it out and leave anything thanks guys.

    The images are super dark. I know you are wondering about the reverse, but I am wondering about the obverse. I think I see MD or possible Dbld letters. Could you try and get whole images and brighter? Anyways if you did, I really wouldn't be the one to ask. Hopefully the other guys will post about it.

    1) The "heads" side of a coin is called the obverse, not the "inverse".
    2) The reverse of your coin looks like damage, not a mint error.
    3) Maybe it is best to read up on some more terms and definitions, since the statement "Also the lettering looks all die cud but looks doubled die" is confusing.
    4) Read up on websites and threads that describe the difference between a doubled die and other forms of doubling for more information and identification practice. :)
