I know that the 1958 double is extremely rare, so I know a price would be hard to say. But I would also like to know if you think this is real or not. This is a video going over the date and mint mark, I apologize for the fuzzy parts and my lack of a steady hand. http://s161.photobucket.com/albums/t...rent=1958d.flv Attached Images         03-02-2009, 08:02 PM   #2 (permalink) mister martin Junior Member   Join Date: Feb 2009 Posts: 4 one last picture http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...58doverall.jpg there is a slightly pulled back picture, showing more of the penny   03-03-2009, 06:49 PM   #3 (permalink) Pyrbob Member   Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: York, PA Posts: 109 Hi Mister Martin. Welcome to the forum. I think what you are referring to is a doubled die and not a doubled strike. They are two different things. The 1958 doubled die is rare and very valuable. But your coin is a 1958 D. Unfortunately, I think your coin is not a doubled die but is what is called strike doubling (a third different term). Strike doubling does not have value and can commonly be found on coins including current dates. It can be caused by a loose die.   03-03-2009, 09:02 PM   #4 (permalink) mister martin Junior Member   Join Date: Feb 2009 Posts: 4 Alright then, how can one tell the difference?   03-03-2009, 09:33 PM   #5 (permalink) desertgem Senior Errer Collecktor     Join Date: Jul 2008 Posts: 2,493 My Mood: Hi and Welcome to the forum! Machine doubling produces a flattened edge from a shearing action of the loose die as it strikes and ejects. Here is an url that explains and illustrates the "tricky" troublesome imitators. After a while the brain/eye will recognize 95% or so of these immediately. http://koinpro.tripod.com/Articles/O...OfDoubling.htm Jim   03-03-2009, 09:47 PM   #6 (permalink) Hobo Numismatist In Training     Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Colorado Springs, CO Posts: 5,027 My Mood: The difference between machine doubling and a doubled die is explained rather well in the back of Cherrypicker's Guide. __________________ No state shall emit bills of credit, make any thing but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts, coin money . . . - US Constitution, Article 1, Section 10 ANA LM-3799; OHNS LM-59; SUSCC R-4005.

However, even that lately has been selling for about $10 and up pending the grade, naturally. If you want some great explanations and examples of all types of doubling, try the www.coppercoins.com web site. Also, they have some fantastic experts on just Lincoln Cents there.
