Found this roll searching but I'm new to all this so I don't quite know if it is even a real doubling of any kind? Or if this just happens and I should throw it back to the ocean. If anything, just looking for some knowledge and education. (sorry for the bad pics)

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it appears to be doubling caused by Die Deterioration IMO.

Machine doubling, I think. Quite common. I cannot find the thread on it right now as I'm in a rush, but coppercoins wrote a nice thread about this. Maybe someone else can post the link?

Thanks guys. No bad news as I'm just looking to be educated. I'll try and ignore these from now on and look for more solid evidence of doubling, if any, in my coin searching. Good to know though, and interesting! Thanks again.

Die Deterioration Doubling is the correct term for this affect. Notice the heavy metal flow lines and how the doubling is in the same direction.

I have noticed an abnormal amount of this on the '88, '89 and to a good extent on the '90 LMC. Also the cladding on these dates is almost always separated at the mintmark and motto on the obverse and to the left of the memorial on the reverse. Was there a die change in '88 that caused this or a cladding issue?

Lincoln cents are not clad...they are plated. VERY different terms.

The mintmark issue is caused by the wash used on the planchets and the subsequent plating.

I stand corrected. I tried to remember the correct term so I used the closest term I could think of at the time. Thank you Chuck.
