Lincoln Cent experts: Does the "0" in 1930 look strange on this one?

Here it is...

1930 1C

Are those marks on the holder, or is this an example of an overdate?

    The 0 does looks a little big, but I don't think it's an overdate. I'm not sure if that line through Lincoln's head is a die crcak or a scratch, though.

    Die gouge or crack.

    What are the two little protruberances that are pointing towards the inside of the '0'?? And I think the '0' looks unusually round. Aren't they usually more upright than squat?

    That date looks really goofy to me too. The three looks funny as well. that date looks like it has been altered to me.

    Looks like a die crack right in the middle of the "0."

    I don't know. The date looks pretty funky to me. The inner edge of the tail on the '9' looks like it might be doubled, too.
