Lincoln Cent Mark?

So I am curious about this Lincoln Cent. It looks like machine doubling but 3 layers. Is that common?

Greetings, it would help to know the year and mint, so I`m going with the MD sense I have no reference of what the coins vitals are to compare with known examples.

Hey no problem, with the coin in hand start here and check against the two listed. The photos being popped off the microscope screen creates lines and as well I would want more of the coin shown. Just remember it must match up perfectly or its something else, Die Deterioration, MD etc etc.

It is not uncommon to see multiple layers of MD.

Copy. Thanks. Onto my next learning experience. 1964 lincoln cent that weighs 2.84

Evening Chad. This is actually another question which should be in another post but a 1964 normal cent weights between 3.0 and 3.1 normally. a cent that weighs 2.84 is just a slightly thinner planchet but within the normal weights.
Hope this helps.

Thanks. I appreciate the help. There is a lot to coins. Gets confusing.

Knowledge is power. Knowing the minting process for when the coins were minted would help alot, in my opinion. Knowing each step of the process may clear up that foggy confusion some people have. Arnold Margolis wrote an error encyclopedia book, and it can be found for normally under 50 bucks new, less if it is slightly used. It's getting tougher to find as I type.
