Let me guess: post 1982 Lincoln cent?
For the record, starting with sarcasm will only bring out the teeth of the curmudgeons.
40 lashes with a wet noodle for you!
Can we see pis of the whole coin front and back please?

That would be AT doubling.
AT - acid trip
Die deterioration doubling.
Whatever it is it's kinda cool. Are the other letters the same way?

I don't know what that exactly is but I wouldn't call it doubling. It is interesting how the letters affect the inside of the rim too.
Forget these dealers trying to get that coin for nothing and express ship it to our hosts for attribution grading. You’ll show them!
Hello. I have been answering questions about coins since 1974, professionally until I retired in 2010, and freelance since then. May I offer a few friendly suggestions about asking questions about coins?
First of all, state the date, mint mark (if any) and denomination of the coin. It might affect the answer, and will certainly help the person trying to answer the question.
Second, Provide full obverse and reverse pictures and then your closeups. This is actually a rather good closeup, but I am not going to try to guess what it is a closeup of.
Third, State a specific question or two. In this case, a simple "What caused this doubling, please?" would have sufficed.
Finally, this is a very interesting coin, and I would like to see more of it. I like the way that effect, whatever it is, affects the rim. As somebody else asked, does it affect other letters?

Also helpful to have in your thread headline some relevant info about your coin ala "Question Regarding Doubling - 1992 Cent," for example.
The snark of "Smite me...." isn't very courteous for a forum newb.
Otherwise, welcome!
It makes more sense if you read his prior threads.
