1958 Lincoln Wheat Penny - MAD plus Doubling Obverse?

Hi guys,

I found this penny while coin roll searching and noticed on the obverse a MAD and that the words "In God We Trust" are very thick and also the "Berty" in Liberty. Could this be the case of doubling? If not, then is it from a worn die?

Thanks very much. Hope you are having a great weekend!

First off, it's not a misaligned die. (MAD) And second, the words are just worn down. Worth 1 cent. Or 2, because it's a wheat penny.

 

This coin is none of those. It is a normal cent with 65 years of circulation. Cheers!

 

All can say is that 1958 was a good year for me, but for well circulated coins, it isn't always kind. That is a nice looking, albeit worn, cent but I'd keep it as a memento of my past. LOL

 

I think you meant 62, didn't you?

 

Nope. Circulation wear. Not a Doubled die.

 

It probably doesn't have even 62 years of circulation. It would be nearly flat if it did. Probably more like 10-15 years of circulation then sat in a jar for many more years.
