cool penny ....I dub it the lightning Strike Lincoln cent

So I was roll hunting and cam across this cool 1982 Lincoln
calling lightning strike cent. as you can see the die crack runs from the edge of the coin through the W and down through Lincoln's head and just past his ear. Plus what's also cool I thought is this coin shows signs of double machine doubling. or is it? who knows? if you look at the mint mark it has the D and what looks like double the machine doubling.

    It would be nice to post your coin pics in the normal position.

    I just figured out how to invert the photos so that they on not a mirror image. but thank you so much for the information. I was just noticing how much photos really make the difference in a post when it comes to answers and topics.

    Excellent pictures once you reverse the image ;) and yes, machine doubling...Cheers, RickO

    @ricko thanks yeah I learned to reverse photo images now, But I don't know about the machine doubling it twice. I seen machine doubling and normally it just has a single outer image not a double outer image.
