I may be wrong like always but i see a tripple die. Coin Upside down you can see how wide Lincoln looks .

Probably nothing, like the other 20 times you've asked lol. But to be sure I'm going to need much better photos. Relooking at the coin, I've never seen a machine doubling case with Lincoln doubled.. please post better photos.

The way I see it, looks like a double image when looking at the forehead, eyebrow, lower nose, and lips. Let the other experts tune in with their opinion.

just a lumpy gas bubbled plating mess, common on Zincolns

Looks like a die clash to me

Plating bubble, that is all.

No im sure there's more to this cent. I think its like an 1800 planchet . I hope thats the correct term lol anyways you can tell on the edges of the cent that there was an image prior to the one it now has n it also haa all them little lines or dots like the older cents did

IMHO, it appears that Lincoln took some hits or in other word Post Mint Damage and also there appears to be some plating bubbles...especially Southeast of Lincoln's chin. However, from the 1st pic, it appears that Slingshot is correct in that the Obverse has a Die Clash of the Reverse elements thus making it a Jailhouse Lincoln Cent.
