Wondering if this is mint error or damage later? It looks different than other damaged coins I've seen. Metal looks moved and set not moved from damage, if that makes sense? 1 1

Oops don't think I did that right😬. Sorry, 1st attempt to ask a question from the peanut gallery. There's also clearly an impression or a  shadow of Lincoln's eye and face. Doesn't make sense to me, that can't be damage. Anything anyone with knowledge can tell me would be greatly appreciated. I'm obviously new to the hobby and new to posting chat stuff. Thanks

It's a parking lot coin. That is consistent with post-mint damage from people walking on it while carrying their bags of Ho Hos and artisanal hummus to their Honda Accords in the parking lot of the Super Mega Serial Price Slasher Grocery Store. It is not special.

[Jayhill2112]

I realize there's alot of damage. Can you tell me why there's a shadow or an impression of Lincoln's nose and eye right above? Ho hos and hummus, made me laugh. How could the face double from damage? Fourth pic you can clearly see another outline of the top of his face. I don't have a scope just a crappy smart phone.

That is not an outline of his face, it is damage.
What your describing is impossible to happen during the striking of a coin.

who ever did that should be in the pookie

Damage can be interesting, but this is damage.  As a rule, most errors (double die, cud, cracks/chips...etc) will leave a raised surface of the coin reflecting the error.  There are some errors that leave an incuse mark (strike though would be an example), however, for the doubling you claim to be seeing - the image would be raised.  That said, I do not see the error to which you are referring.

Sometimes when you look too hard you can see all sorts of things. Kind of like looking at designed floor tile and seeing images. Lol All I see is damage on your cent.

That 1942 has been through the war!!

Just damage, looking at clouds in the sky can yield lots of interesting images, but its all just in our imagination just like your second face on this coin is just wishful thinking.

I once had bathroom floor tile with a pattern that would change DISTANCE spontaneously when I was drunk or tired. Freaky.

A Yugo, then a Toro, which was heavier than the car.
