Does anyone see any doubling on these. Or can explain what I am seeing for future reference. The first is a 2012 Lincoln. Just noticed some lite shadowing lines through the middle of the "O", "D" and "W" but no serifs. Reminds me of what I see on a lot of 1972 Lincolns but not sure.
Second is a 1965 Lincoln. I do not see anything except the corner of the "5". Not sure what caused this.
Third is a 1973 Jefferson. Again, do not see anything except what the "3" shows. Assuming this one is some sort of MD, but like to double check before tossing back

Thanks for any info

On the first image, the lines on the field that flow towards the rim are called die flow lines. They are created with die usage that makes the planchet flow towards the rim. They get worse as the die ages.

The second image is showing part of the design on the '5' with the marks on the corner you are seeing. They all have this.

Different years have this issue.

On the third image it looks like the coin suffered a well placed hit on the '3' on the date or very slight machine damage. Note it is on the top and central part of the digit. But not deep enough to affect the field on the coin. SO no hub doubling as the device would have been enlarged. Best way to see if that is the case it to make a side by side with a normal coin and the same digits to see if it is enlarged or not. Rotate the devices to the same angle and from on the same edges and make the images the same sizes. That will be a great help.
