Even if its not an error coin, it sure is pretty! What do you think?!?!? Look at the B in Liberty and the date. If this is a DD, is it valuable? I don't even know where to begin to take coins when I find erros.
Only way to tell is with close up (macro) pics of the doubling. Fill the whole frame of the pic with a few letters/numbers that look doubled. Worth a couple bucks or less if not a DD, as it looks improperly cleaned in your last pic.
Your Cent is not a DD. A Doubled Die is not an error but considered a Variety. This is a good example of a 1958 Doubled Die Cent
If you click on the last picture he posted you can enlarge it big enough to see it better. No Doubling at all.
No a DD, maybe a little MD but difficult to tell from the photos. Even though you coin is shiny and pretty, that means little. I can see scratches on the obverse and that is from being cleaned, improperly cleaned that is. It's worth a penny, maybe a penny and a half.
For the sake of fairness only, the variety shown, while certainly the most significant, isn't the only doubled die known for the date/mint.... http://doubleddie.com/365001.html OP, While not positive what the anomaly on the "B" is or was caused by - perhaps it is just a well placed hit, but I cannot see it well enough to say - as has been pointed out, it's not doubling, or at least the type you're hoping for. The below link may be of some assistance in your quest to identify genuine doubled dies as opposed to the more common forms of doubling that carry no additional premiums. http://doubleddie.com/58222.html
Thank you very much. I am having a hard time distinguishing DDs and different types of errors. I bought the redbook but thats really for values. I wish i knew someone where i lived or show someone a few of my coins and show what i think are errors. Anyways... THANKS everyone!
