    It would be helpful if you specified precisely what you are questioning. I do see some dark spots in the last pictures... is this the issue you are concerned with? Please elaborate. Cheers, RickO

    As Ricko said above, you need to tell us what you see on the coin.

    I see a normal Lincoln Cent - maybe a few die polish lines in the
    first photo, but that is not an error; it's part of the minting or die
    process.

    That first pic of the date/mm is excellent, then all the rest are blurry. I don’t get that.

    Anyways here’s a good reference since I am assuming your looking for DDs.

    http://conecaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/StrikeDoublingFlyer-1.pdf

    “Typically, die doubling will almost always exhibit splits in the serifs of the letters and/or numerals, with rounded, secondary images.”

    “As a rule, strike doubling will exhibit a flat, shelf-like secondary image, contrary to the rounded secondary images of true die doubling. This secondary image will also usually be low to the field. There will be no splits in the serifs. On most uncirculated and proof coins, strike doubling will give the appearance that the metal has been “moved,” much like that on hobo nickels or love tokens, and will have a very shiny appearance.”

    The term is 'machine - or mechanical - doubling'....not to be confused with a 'doubled die'. Two totally different issues. Cheers, RickO

    No such thing. There are "doubled dies" and coins with "machine doubling".

    MD is sometimes interesting but has no value (unless you have an extreme example that someone might want as a curiosity).

    I you are trying to decide if a coin is normal or has MD you might as well stop right there, as the value is the same.
