I don't really collect Lincoln cents, and in fact hardly ever give them a second look, but for whatever reason today a few such turned up in a shop's "bargain" bin, and, on the basis of their having been marked by a previous owner as "errors" got my attention. This is one of them.

Admittedly only the most minor sort of "variety" with virtually no premium to be had over face value. That said, the doubling of the mint mark and the last digit of the date is pretty pronounced.

That's Die Deterioration Doubling, caused by a worn die, from striking a ton of coins at the U.S. Mint. The previous owner was incorrect, if he thought it was a Doubled Die. http://www.error-ref.com/die-deteri...on-doubling/

You can see that the "doubling" moves toward the rim and is showing in opposite directions between the date and LIBERTY.
