1998 Weak Strike?

Additional Information

Date: 1998

It seems like I get a lot of strange Lincolns. This 1998 has a weak impression on the date and the bottom right portion of 8 has a ghost like double to the southeast. However, the rims on the edges are set quite deep. On the reverse the last A in AMERICA has a ghost like appearance at its base. There is also two little smooth pond like impressions between the last A and the C. These are hard to see in the photo,but very evident in person. The 8 and the last A are opposite each other so perhaps the planchet was thinner in that area or it was a Tapered Planchet as I just read in the new glossary additions. Other explanations are welcome.
