There is a line that runs through Liberty. The LIB and ERTY are separated by this line and the section that says LIB is raised off of the coin. ERTY does not appear doubled, but the LIB is very easy to see doubling in. Is this Machine Doubling or doubled die? It appears to read LIIIB , but I and B are clearly present twice.   |

 . Always best to remove coins from 2x2 holders before taking pics. I agree with DDD and maybe a linear trail gas bubble? John1  |

Yes, please always remove coins from the 2x2 holders. It's difficult to see exactly what's going on, but I agree, it appears to be DDD.  |

I will remove from the 2x2 and take them again. Apologies. All new to me. Is there any extra value to the coin if it is DDD? Also, porobably dfoesnt matter, but just going off of the word bubble, it is solid, non-flixible. Apologies. I am a noob! |

DDD adds no value. Not sure about the line by liberty. John1

I have to head to work and I suck at lighting/photography. I am posting closeup of liberty. Difficult to capture in photo (just ordered a digital microscope be here tuesday!) but the line that goes through liberty goes all the way from upper rim to lower rim, and that entire section including the word LIB appears to be raised higher than the rest of the rightward obverse. Through the loupe, I can easily see the entirety of a second ghost like B as the front bumps of the b pass through the eyelets of the intended original B. I do not expect my coin is more than some are saying just to be clear. I don't use hope to build false arguments. I have no knowledge in mint errors, just 20 years in looking for things that are off! Thank you all!  |

Well not the best image. but from it I can see a long surface scratch starting in the NW region and going down through 'Liberty' between B and E. The area around the I now looks more normal, maybe there was some lighting reflections and a little MD to the left of it.

Lol. Not to be funny, but I said I don't know errors or varieties. Although my pictures are not of great quality, the coin is still as described. It is definitely not a surface scratch, and through the jewelry loupe and even in my photo in my own opinion it is obvious that LIB is doubled. I don't know what the doubling is, but the B has a B visible beside itself. The humps on the front of the B are in the holes in the intended B. The entire are behind the crack/scratch/? Is raised higher than the rest of the coin.almost like it couldn't compress under the pressure of the die. I'm not being argumentative and I definitely appreciate the time people the to offer me an opinion, but at least consider my description is more credible than my poor photo. Thank you to all.

Also, meant to add earlier. I did not use any direct lighting and photos are taken without flash from direct overhead phone mount and time capture to avoid any lighting tricks or bright spots. The word in, in IN GOD WE TRUST also extends into punch and up to rim as evident in the first obverse photo I posted. Also, I am fully aware my Lincoln Cent may still be worth a mere cent in the real world, but there is something undoubtedly special about this coins story. I just wanted to share. Hope all are well, and thank you again for taking the time to read and respond. |

Welcome and thanks for sharing your favorite. We all have one or dozens.
Looking forward to the images from the scope but I'm thinking like the others that said linear plating blister. Blisters can be caused by improper adhesion of the copper plating to the zinc substrate on copper plated zinc cents.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
