The die crack is in a common area, and the rest is DDD=die deterioration doubling aka a worn die. No added value. John1  ( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion )

I see split serifs on the reverse, John. I think that the date looks more like a doubled die as well, even the mint mark has it.

Agree with John1. Classic Die Deterioration. I suggest taking a look at what known doubled die varieties look like for Lincoln shield cents, @ThatCoinDude. |

I dunno, the 'N' in 'ONE CENT' looks the have some splitting at the serifs.

@NumisNortherner, Not proper splitting, and true splitting no longer happens on single squeeze doubled dies anyway. If it were a doubled die, it would show more crisp definition rather than the hazy, faded doubling you're seeing here. Also, the fact that we're seeing it on both the obverse and reverse is a clear sign of Die Deterioration. Both the hammer and anvil dies were on their last legs. |
