Looks like a plating issue very common on zinc Lincoln cents which has no added value.

 

Is she talking about the machine doubling on "Liberty"? Agree that the surfaces look odd.

 

I don't see machine doubling, what I see looks more like either die deterioration doubling, or as mentioned plating problem. Possibly both.

 

Here a picture of the date

 

I would still say it's plating issues, not doubling of any kind.

EDIT - I say that because of the obvious plating issues with the surrounding fields, etc.

 

This photo has helped me more than anything !!!

 

That's actually very helpful, thanks!

 

The last pictures I would say definitely die deterioration doubling with maybe some plating issues thrown in too.

 

Hey guys, what kind of mint error is this called? Still learning terminology. Thanks

 

Not a mint error. Somebody probably ground it down with sandpaper or a rasp.

 

It's a worn down, or ground down cent.

 

Proper term for it is Post Strike Damage (PSD).
