    Okay...I have been studying hard and will make an attempt at diagnosing what you are showing. But I am not an expert. I am just learning, so wait for one of our CT experts to come along and give their opinion. I am mostly testing myself and I hope I get it right.

    Obverse - die deterioration doubling evident in the date and the mint mark as well as the G-D WE TRUST (I can't see the "I") and I am not sure if there is anything going on with Abe's earlobe because it is blurry and the photograph is not with Abe's head towards the top. (I am using a heavy laptop, not a smart phone or other mobile device)

    Reverse - plating split doubling evident on the "TED STATES" (but I think if you look carefully you will find that effect on the whole phrase - I just can not see it well enough)

    Its tough to tell from your pics but if you are referring to the shadowy outline of the date I believe it is either incuse die deterioration doubling, or plating disturbance doubling if it is raised.

    Here is a link where you can read about both: http://www.error-ref.com/?s=plating+disturbance+doubling

    Both of these are common on copper plated zinc cents. One thing you will notice is that this always seems to happen in the direction closest to the rim of the coin. I think its because of the tension/stress on the thin copper plating. On the mintmark the plating is already split exposing the zinc.

    I'm no expert though, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

    It's a common find.. Nothing to do with a true Doubled Die.. Just a worn die strike and some split plating.
