1994 lincoln double stamped???

wondering what i found looks like the reverse is stamped on the obverse and the obverse is stamped on the reverse, major die crack from bowtie to lincolns chests and there looks to be double die in iber in the word liberty.

Looks like a really nice die clash!

 

I think that is called a jailed lincoln.

 

Need better pictures, but even with what you've shown I'd say you have a nice Mint error there.

 

common

common....called a "prisoner lincoln"......

maybe a tiny premium

 

can you get a closer up pic of it?

 

tiny premium cool worth how many pounds of copper or ozs, of gold

 

FYI:
There is no such animal as :"double stamped"

perhaps a double strike.

 

TADA

 

okay, I concede!

LOL

but for a coin?

 

Okay, I am surprised none of you error experts on commenting on this?.. I mean it looks to be a die clash for certain, but that is atleast 3 strikes on reverse and obverse... How would you get a double or triple clashed die like that without more damage to the primary devices?... Great find, in any case...

 

die chatter during the clash.

 

?

how rare is this coin

 

I found a whole bunch on ebay that sold for under $20.

 

Here's one

I wonder how easy it is to fake such a "die clash". Could some one grind off the edge of one cent, put it on top of another one cent, and strike it with a hammer? What will happen if one does this?

 

Would probably be noticeable, wouldn't do an image like this one, it would have to be a negative die to produce a positive image on the coin, plus it would expose new metal that would be obvious on an older coin that has oxidized.

 

?

has any one seen a 1994 error just like mine some where ?

 

check the ebay link that was posted...

i never seen this before and now i want one!
