Hi. Came across this penny coin roll hunting. The 1997 date and Libeety are struck very lightly. Also, across the top of Lincoln's head there appears to be doubling. As u can see, the reverse of the coin is in great shape. Lmk what you think. Thx again.
The dies get grease in them sometimes, pretty common. I have a few of them, just keep around because their different.
Meaning it was struck with a worn die. Compacted debris such as grease filled the incused numbers and letters in the Die. When the Blank Planchet was struck it did not allow it to be formed properly. No true doubling just minor mechanical doubling.
