    Hi Everyone, this is my 1st post other than my introduction. I'm new here and need help identifying if this is a collectible error or just a mistake on the letters. I hope the pictures I took are okay, I guess I'll find out by your feedback soon enough. Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the forum.
    It always helps if your photos are oriented properly instead of sideways. As it is, I can't quite tell what is going on (too much glare), but it looks like mechanical doubling to me.

    Very interesting. A DDR is supposed to be impossible for so late a date but that "R" in "AMERICA" doesn't seem to know that.

    Let's see what some of the experts think.

    Thanks so much for all the input, I really appreciate it. Even if its not worth anything, since I'm new to errors, I was happy to find something :D Here's the other side of it, I think the date is a mechanical error. lincoln (5).jpg lincoln (8).jpg
