It's a very cool doubled die, too bad it looks like it was polished. Of course, it could just be the lighting.

thats a nice one... Did you find that while searching rolls of pennies? I will also agree with tom...

Argh….That coin brings back bad memories.

 

Years ago when I was working on my Lincoln set I had a dealer send me a ’55 double die on approval. It was in an NGC holder graded MS-63 brown and the dealer wanted $750 for it. The coin was really nice, but it had a couple of wood grain toning streaks on it and I couldn’t make up my mind if I liked them or not.

 

After thinking about it for a couple of days I decided to send the coin back. I figured I would wait to find an example I liked better. Well, I eventually completed my Lincoln set and moved on to early commems., but I never did pick up another ’55 double die.

 

Now I kick myself for not keeping that coin!
