1961 D With Slight (Machine?) Doubling And Possible Die Crack

I recently got a USB microscope/viewer and as might be expected I am eager to use it. In looking at this 1961D cent I noticed a couple of interesting things, and I mostly am looking for confirmation that I am understanding things correctly.

This looks like a small die crack ending in the I in Liberty. Also, the letters of Liberty look awfully misshapen and wobbly, not sure why.



Then there is this odd doubling underneath the chin and along the neck and breast of Lincoln. Normally I would think of it as Machine Doubling but the doubled area does exactly match the original area. I would be interested in your insights.


I know some of you are going to ask if I have bought the book before the coin. I do have Wexler's book on Lincoln cents and have ordered, and am waiting to take delivery of the Cherry Picker's guide.

Thanks!
