I randomly found this coin when I used a US cent for size comparison in a picture. This is the second found without looking--common, or just good luck?

Lincoln-1996-D-With-Lathe-Lines

Update: I've read a few posts on the subject, and they appear to be a genuine variety with some collector interest.

That's a real nice one. I have found around 10. Each one is a little different and I think they do carry a premium.

Nice find and 1996 is a very common year for lathe lines. Not saying lathe lines are common, just a lot of 96 finds I see.

I'm curious to know what everyone thinks this coin would grade? What is going on with the "S of" in the "UNITED STATES oF AMERICA" on the reverse?

That's a very nice photo DVCollector.

I'm not the best grader of LMCs, but in hand the coin looks AU to me.
The weak letters, such as "STATES OF" is probably due to strike--Lincoln's should is on the opposite side.
