This looks like a 1942-P Lincoln Cent DDO FS-104 that showed up in a roll of 1942 Lincoln cents that I recently purchased on E-Bay.

What did I look for first? The striking pattern of doubling on Lincoln's eye.

What did I look for next? The doubling on 19 of the DATE.

What did I look for now? The doubling of letters in the MOTTO.

Please see attached photos.

@plu, you may be right about this one, but I'm not sure--too much circulation wear for me to determine. Hopefully some of our experts can weigh in with their thoughts.

I think you are perhaps correct on this. A lot of things seem to match up, however, like Spence the amount of circulation damage makes it difficult for me to be 100% sure.
