This is an interesting coin. I wasn't entirely sure so I sent it to Mike Diamond and the diagnosis here is his. So you know it's right. The coin was struck, rotated slightly in the collar, and was struck again. The second strike shows a fairly large struck through error on the obverse. Finally, the coin has a partial collar. 1941 Lincoln Wheat cent mint error - double struck in collar, second strike struck through, partial collar     |

That is very cool! After all that at the mint, it looks to have served well in circulation for some time. The color is very pleasing as well.

Wow, super error coin here TB! I asked Mike several months ago if a double struck, in collar, no rotation coin could be determined from observations and he mentioned the partial collar would be key. Yours has some rotation so its easier but so many would disregard this as MD or something. I would love to see the partial collar if you haven't put this one away.
I think about most D/S coins that they may have been struck and then ejected correctly and came back later mistakenly in a batch of planchets to be struck again. This coin would seem to have certainly been stuck in place for two consecutive strikes. Very cool!

Thanks all for the great comments! Was watching the Steelers lose and now that my football season is over it's back to mostly coin stuff.
I can see about getting a pic of the edge if I have time. The coin won't grade well but it's in the pile for ANACS to get the error(s) on the label. The partial collar is full, not tilted, and a bit smooth likely from the circulation. It is obvious though and not hard to spot. Otherwise I think this one comes down to the basic principal of looking at the devices comparatively. Lots of normal stuff happens like DD and MD, but when things are thicker or in some way seem distorted it's time to get in for a closer look. But certainly glad Mike was willing to take a look at this one to be sure of what is going one. Or should I say what went on?

I don't usually take pictures of partial collars as the product to effort ratio is too low. They all are pretty similar with an offset on the rim. This one shows well under a loupe all the way around but it is flattened enough in most places to look like nothing much under larger magnification. This is the one spot left mostly unscathed.  |
