Odd Looking 1944 S Lincoln Cent, need you thoughts

    Here is a Lincoln Cent that exhibits a few anomalies. I have not seen this before so I thought I would post it here to gather up a few opinions. Here are the things I noticed (there may be others).

    1. There is a gouge on the left side of the obverse. I reckon it could be explained away as nothing unusual and that is was post mint damage. But….
    2. The back of Lincoln’s head is very weak looking
    3. Take a look at the rim on the left. It appears to be doubled.


    My questions are

    Anybody know how this might have happened?
    Might this be some rare variety and I can retire or something fairly common?

    Thanks

    I think it is damage

    strike a bit weak

    a tad off of perfectly centered, giving that rim effect

    I think it is worth no more than regular MS-60 money.
