1930-D Lincoln Wheat Cent Doubling

Hey Dude! Been here a couple years, actually (around that), just ain't said too much. Lookin' for more opinions on this one (ya caught me, pal, ya caught me :D).

EDIT: BTW, how do you get these smilies to work?

On that date and mint mark, I agree. But you're saying, also, under the nose, on the lips, and under the tie, as well. Just want to nail that down. It's a yes or no question, Copper. Thanks.

Can't answer that - only the image of the date and mintmark is clear enough to tell anything.

Stumbled on this going through My CCF. Better late than never, I guess. This is about the sharpest I can do with this camera, hope it helps. Threw in a comparison shot to a MSRD, too, just for the heck of it. Still don't know what could have caused these marks, though...

Coop, I'm kinda stuck for theories on how it may have happened. Take a good look at it. In the first set of pics, I showed the date and mm, and that's pretty obviously the result of strike damage. Just that says this coin took a pretty good jolt when it was struck. Do I connect that "rocking and rolling" (if you will) to the second set of pics, to explain the "disfigurement," there? Or, rather, is that disfigurement post-mint damage (i.e., an event independent of the strike)? And, even then, supposing we're going to call that an independent post-mint event, what, possibly, could have caused it? Take a look at it, again. I'll take any theories, whatsoever, on that, at this stage, whether plausible or not...

Thanks, Richard, appreciate it.

I had just never seen MD make those kinds of marks, Tony. But, like I said, you look at that date and mm (first set of pics), and it's clear this coin took a real jolt. So, without more, I guess I'm kinda leaning that way. Thanks.
