Trail or Double Die ? 0

[VanArippa]

Odd marking in the o shape around the side of the coin. The columns look like they might be doubled very

lightly. The part that looks rubbed off I have no idea how this coin came to be but its in great condition otherwise. 

Am I seeing things? Sarcasm doesn't transfer to print. My bad.     Please advise  Thanks guys

The weak STA in the word STATES, and the missing E in the motto are most likely the result of having the highest part of the obverse design - Lincoln's shoulder - directly opposite. There was not enough metal to fill both designs properly. This was a common problem on Lincoln cents into the mid 80s. They lowered the obverse design in (I think) 1984, but the problem still shows up on 1985 dated coins.

It appears to be an ordinary cent, albeit one that's a trifle weakly struck.
