    One half of one cent.

    I am assuming doubling is common on Lincoln cents.

    What causes raised stick under "O".

    Machine doubling is!

    The raised mark appears to be a die gouge. It's not under the "O". It is on the surface of the die, so it doesn't appear through the letter.

    The reason I quoted a value of 1/2c is because you need to post both sides. For all we know, the obverse has a severe case of road rash.

    I'd have to agree. Though some of those are plating blisters.

    The 1987 D is a good example of DDD - Die Deterioration Doubling.
    The D mint mark if exposed to the elements will incur Zinc Rot since the Zinc is exposed. Copper Plated Zinc Cents have this plating issue :yack:

    Probably a small linear bubble... another plating issue.

    With no picture of the Reverse side... looks like a normal Cent
    Value - 1 Cent each
