Is this a Doubled Eye Lincoln Cent?

Wow for a cat your are really smart! I want to be like you someday and then maybe i will know as much as you do. You know how i know you are so Smart? You are wearing glasses! and they make you look smart. I watched 11 youtube videos about this coin and i searched for doubled eyes and i saw that a 1969 sold for like a million dollars so mine must be worth at least $10000 because its a different date but my eye is doubled more than that one is.

I don't have a fancy microscope like I've seen some people post here have. I want to get one but they are really expensive.

 

Haha!

 

You need to see the whole coin? But the eye is what's doubled!

 

If you can afford that coin, you can afford a fancy microscope!

 

You can be a cat, too. And smart. Here's an avatar you can use.

 

It says "MS-63 BN" on the front. Does that mean anything? What is the BN? Big Nose? Is that for the doubling? I thought the doubled eye was the important part.

 

Wow! That cat has glasses and is reading a newspaper and is telling science jokes? I'm not sure I can ever be that cool. I only have a degree in rocket science.

 

You should change your mood to 'sarcastic'. Nice coin.

 

Haha, well, the joke is up. Obviously I was just having a bit of fun with y'all.

But isn't that how a typical thread would go here in the errors forum?

 

I think you have more than a doubled eye, looks like might be some doubling in the deveyeses 2.

 

That's too bad that you have a degree in rocket science, because coin collecting is not rocket science.

You picked the wrong major. Here's what you need.

 

PS great coin.

 

I think it looks more RB.

 

Serious response: there isn't nearly enough red to make RB. There is no original red on the reverse at all (the reddish appearance is toning, not original red). The obverse has a bit of original red around the devices, especially on the left, but not enough for RB.

 

While the key diagnostic doesn't show in my pictures, it is clearly there when I look at it under a loupe.

Fine specimen...confirmed with a T (and a TPG)!! Any cat would enjoy sliding that slab around the place.

The die scratch is visible on the full shot of the reverse. The line is approximately half the thickness of the T away from the left edge of the vertical bar. This is an important diagnostic when buying a 1955DDO. I spotted a RB 55 for sale at an antique store...it was counterfeit. The owner took a bath on that coin.
