    I think I found a doubling of some kind.. I dont have a way to get a real good picture, but I did scan it a few times.. Looks like the 7 is over pretty far.. enough thats it's easy to see.. it seems the scanner picked it up as a lighter shadow or something.. but it is there... Tell me what you think..is this a double die? if so what kind? any ideals as to what it's worth?
    Thinking about putting it on ebay, need to have an ideal of what to let it go for... Thanks a Bunch.. cho cho

    Probably just an effect of die deterioration. I think I see a low ridge extending up from the point of Lincoln's bust. That would also point to die deterioration.

    Thank You Mike, guess that means it's not worth anything... right?

    Really very common with Lincoln Cents in the 80's. Note the sort of secondary rim on the obverse which is also common with the 80's. I've got hundreds like that and at coin shows they are not even woth showing.
