Could be some type of ghosting due to die wear

Right. Topics merged.

 

Only if you hold it up to a mirror, otherwise wear.

 

I see what you're referring to OP, kinda looks like Lincoln's face is casting a shadow, but ya like collecting nut said it's just wear. Still a nice coin though, I'd b happy with any 90 yr old wheat

 

I would say the shadow is the result of a weak strike, not wear. Of course, without the reverse it's impossible to put a grade on this coin, but I would guess a midgrade such as F or VF. Assuming no damage to the reverse, this could has a retail value between $3 and $5. It's obviously worth more than 1c.

 

I don't see any doubling on the face, either, and, granted, the photo is blurry, but doesn't the date look like it is doubled?

I think the shadow he sees may be a result of die wear. I remember reading a very involved explanation of what causes this and it involved die wear but I can't remember the entire explanation. I don't think I fully understood it when I read it either.

 

thank you for your answers I'm still learning I don't ask questions I'll never get to the answer thank you very much
