<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SJVM, post: 1055681, member: 21559&quot;]As I am sure you know, most Lincolns from that era are very poor in quality and this, in my experience, is relatively common. Most likely it is die-deterioration-doubling, but could possibly have something to do with the plating, which was also an issue on Cents of the mid to late 1980s. The angle at which the lettering (and especially the mintmark) comes off of the field is much stronger than that of the bust, and is often the cause of plate-doubling/splitting. Regardless, these are not doubled dies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
