CoinChat89 Valued Member United States 86 Posts	Posted 11/10/2024 2:16 pm I'm hesitant to use the term "doubled", but there is definitely something up with Lincoln on this penny. His image basically looks heavily bolded. In addition to images of the obverse and reverse, I included a side by side with another penny (1973-P) for Lincoln comparison. What's this called? Thanks for looking Report this Post to the Staff
