I have a 1966 penny with intensely thick line that goes around Abe which is very visible. Anyone know what this is considered if anything at all or normal? Also the bold letters are so defined and deep set even on reverse. Never quite seen one like this. A gorgeous coinThe FG initials on reverse looks doubled and any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks all.

It looks like a very nicely struck coin. I don't see anything in particular that looks out of the ordinary as far as a "line around Abe" that you reference.
What I see in your images appears to be an artifact of your lighting, there does appear to be perhaps a bit of "browning" of the coin in the fields in your last obverse image. The "halo" around Abe may be the places where normal contact by hands in commerce would not occur due to protection by the devices. The absence of contact would allow those portions of the coin to stay red longer.
Looks like maybe a die crack going across his head.

I don't see anything out of the ordinary except maybe a small die crack on the head in of the pictures. I can't tell if there is any doubling happening on the VG as the picture is too blurry. In general it looks like a really well struck penny to me.
It appears to be a very well struck cent.... other than what may be a small die crack on Lincoln's head... or maybe a die scratch.... I see nothing out of the ordinary beyond a nice looking cent. Cheers, RickO
typical uncirculated specimen.

it's nicely struck! i agree with others about the die crack on the bust of lincoln.
Thanks guys! It's a gorgeous coin. Definitely a keeper!
