Fenntucky Mike Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I do not see any doubling. For future reference, please post clear cropped pictures of the entire coin. Both sides. Sandon and GoldFinger1969 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandon Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 You posted photos of the same or a similar normal 1958 Lincoln cent on Friday with the same question. I'll give the same response: Your coin is definitely not, nor does it resemble, the extremely rare 1958 doubled die obverse cent, of which only three are known to exist and all of which, as I recall, reportedly turned up in the same place at the same time decades ago. It is extremely unlikely that any more will be found. This variety exhibits clear, crisp doubling on "LIBERTY" and the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST", as on this photo from NGC VarietyPlus: JT2 and GoldFinger1969 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are people even aware of these limited numbers...they may think there are hundreds or even thousands ? Or at least dozens. All these "Is this coin the super-rare...." threads are like finding an old Lottery ticket that matches the latest MegaMillions or PowerBall numbers -- but the ticket is from weeks or months ago !

Popular Post EagleRJO Posted July 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2023 Blurry pics combined with possibly some minor strike or deteriorated die doubling doesn't make a coin a DDO as in the pic Sandon posted. See this infographic to help distinguish between the two in the future. Bob Oakes, GoldFinger1969 and JT2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
