Not sure, but I'm pretty sure these bad boys have been double dyed

 

No! Die deterioration!

You got the 'doubled' part right. Now we'll work on 'die'.

 

ever since my double died I've been seeing things.

 

I think I see what you might have seen in the first 9, but I would say die deterioration as well

 

I see what you mentioned but I'd like to see a whole coin photo. It looks more like MD to me though.

"Explaining the difference between die doubling (doubled dies, repunched dates, repunched mintmarks among others) and the more confusing forms of doubling can be very challenging and even more difficult for a novice to comprehend. Additionally, there are times when determining the difference can be frustrating for even a very experienced collector."

repunched dates are commmon but you need to learn to determine whats a actual rpd and die det.

 

Everyone else that replied beat me to the punch.

 

Did you hear that collective groan?

 

It was music to my ears!

 

thanks. The 9 looks like it is doubled. It's so beat up though. I saw the shadow of another level on the inside and the top looks split.. just more junk

 

??? Er...what?
RPD in Lincoln Cents is not common at all.. or even non existent

 

Die wear

 

Nope
