I actually posted some other shots of this one mislabeled as a 2013d here http://www.cointalk.com/threads/2013d.234931/
Not really great, been busy and using an old camera at moment. I might get around to finding the better camera sometime soon. OOPS Wrong coin, next post will have the correct one.
I thought lighting also at first, but I have a boatload of shinny coins and about 5 that show the same look all being 2012 D cents. Took shots of 2 I had and 1 I pulled out of my pocket today.
Here are 2 more. I have a couple more lying around somewhere. The other thing is when using my pocket microscope I can easily see it. Normally when I think something might be doubled I look to see if I can see it with the naked eye and end up deciding no or mechanical. With these I easily see the doubling.
Finally got around to it, all 3 shots are same coin slightly different settings and light. not the best focus, but I think it shows.
It's called die deterioration doubling. That's the fancy terminology used to describe a coin that was struck by a worn die. It's pretty common on Lincolns and commands no premium. It's basically normal.
I think I will leave it at that right now.. Btw. the doubling is in the date, motto and liberty all offset by the same amount, fully raised and separated. I most likely am wrong though(Usually am, hehe)
