I have 1959 threw 1972 Lincoln Memorial cents that have either diecracks or they have been doubled I have one that had a rotated die ? how rare are these errors .
Die cracks are pretty common on early lincoln memorials. If strong enough they could bring 50 cents to a dollar on ebay but they have to be pretty dramatic. The rotated die errors can carry a decent premium if the rotation is dramatic. The doubling is most likely strike doubling which is considered damage by many collectors but like the others, if dramatic enough, you could get a couple of bucks for them. If the doubling is "hub doubling" then you could have some valuable coins. Do a web search for Ken Potter and take a look at his web site. He has examples of different types of doubling. I think that there are about one dozen different types of doubling out there and only a couple of them are money makers. Also do a search on ebay for your die cracks and the rotated dies and take a look at what people are paying for them. Hope this helps, Jason
I have been trying to snap myself out of this funk that I have been in for the last couple of months. The lawsuit, family trip and bizzare family drama took it's toll and I'm slowly starting to climb out of it. Jason
Glad to hear things are getting back to normal pal Your knowledge in this area is much needed here - for mine is sadly lacking.
