1978 S Proof Lincoln Cent Doubling?

#1 Unread post by Grim_Streaker »

First off thank you for your time,
just wondering what caused the letters to be doubled “In God We Trust & 1978” it doesn’t look like shelving, what could it be a Double Die, Double Struck, Pivoted Hub Doubling, Die Clash or could it have been caused by that chip embedded on the backside of Lincolns head? In addition the top of the T in "States" on the Reverse is half the thickness as the other?

Again, thank you for your feedback, Respectfully Yours JR
