I came across a 1934 Lincoln Cent with 90% reverse damage and I'm looking for your helpful thoughts

I see doubling, within a rubbing effect on the reverse leaving the obverse somewhat intact.
I haven't weighed it yet, thinking the copper displacement may show the coin being on the lite side.
But I will asap.
I've only had it for appox. 2 weeks.
Wrong planchet ?
Die problems ?
Are there others ?

You've had it for 2 weeks too long.
You called it, it’s damage, how it happened doesn’t really matter, damage is damage.
Worth 1 cent in that condition.
Auto Mauled ?

What if it was waffled ? Does it really matter, if in that condition of damage ?
.
Weight ?...............2.8 ( Still within tolerance, said quality control ?
Awaiting lab results to show the enhanced, negative filter, photos.
There were many production problems of the 1934 cent. Good read.
Great coin to remind you what not to look for
