Does anyone have 2 comparison photos to educate me on distinguishing these from one another? I am currently searching circulated Lincoln rolls for type coins and coppers. :goofer: Thanks
I to have never found one. I to have never found one but I will some fine day. What is truly remarkable about this coin is if fully hubbed it would have rivaled the 1955 DDO #1 with such massive doubling in the center the devices towards the rim would have been fabulous.
That 55 DD is so overly done as to it's scarcity and value. For some reason when Whitman decides a coin is to get thier popularity, the value sky rockets and everyone has to have one. As an example if you check out www.coppercoins.com you would see all kinds of Double Dies but unless they make it into the Red Book, not much is ever mentioned about them. Same with the Double Ear. Imagine how many double died coins are just ignored and used as just a coin due to no popularity in the Red Book.
........you're right, just carl. that's why you GOTTA look at each and every coin that passes thru your hands!
Contrare Carl There is an estimated 20,000 mintage and SO MANY have been doctored it is genuinely difficult to get an original problem free example. This coin trades in the same range as an SVDB in the high circ grades, and you cannot buy rolls of them, they just dont exsist in the same numbers in the same grades. Choice problem free examples are tough.......
Carl, Carl please Imagine how many double died coins Carl, Carl please don't use that phrase it give me bad dreams. Better to say "imagine how many doublED dies" or "how many coins that are doublED dies" but please not "double" or "died" - both these are incorrect and it will pay you in the long run to find out why. No true die varieity specialist will ever use those phrases - the only correct terms are "doublED and "die".
