For some reason, the cents of the late '60s and early '70s have tons of Machine Doubling. You can tell by its step-like appearance and the decrease in letter thickness.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/16/2022 1:19 pm Machine Doubling never creates a doubled die. Only a doubled die, can strike a doubled die coin. A doubled die can also have Machine Doubling, but Machine Doubling never creates a double die. (Only the die can do that) Report this Post to the Staff
levelsofmadnes Pillar of the Community United States 3003 Posts	Posted 05/16/2022 2:27 pm looks like WMDO-001 with Machine Doubling to me from varietyvista.com bottom of this linkhttps://doubleddie.com/384301.html Quote: Comments: Shortly after the various obverse doubled die cent varieties were produced that year, the Lincoln Cent master die for 1972 failed and a new one had to be produced. Clearly the Mint was having problems that year with the hubbing process as was evidenced by the many doubled die varieties produced. Those problems carried over to the second master die that was produced for the Lincoln cents that year. That second master die was produced with minor doubling. It is estimated that the doubled master die was created somewhere around April or May of 1972. All of the Lincoln cents struck by working dies that descended from the doubled master die show this minor doubling. The doubling can be seen on the letters of IGWT, the letters of LIBERTY, and very slightly on the date. Since 60% to 70% of all Lincoln cents for 1972 show this doubling, it is far too common to have any value. This includes 1972 D-Mint, S-Mint, and proof coins produced that year.
