    1985-D Lincoln doubling on Liberty, trail die? or deterioration?

    It's probably junk but it's purdy. The date is normal. I'm thinking IGWT is die wear. Liberty on the other hand has very clear lines that look like separation lines, and thicker letters. It does not look like MD, but I think it may be a phenomenon like a trail die.

    It appears to be die wear, plating and planchet issues!!!

      The overall size of the letters in LIBERTY appears to be normal, so I would say it isn't a DDO. Could be some ejection doubling there, and definitely some die deterioration.
