Toned 1955/55 Double Die - My Latest NEWP!

Thanks for that post, I knew there was doubling on the bowtie and and the lapel, but I never really looked close enough to see the rest of the doubling. The lettering and the date just seem to always draw my eye away from the smaller details

Thanks for the correction and information, Bro!:hail: I think I see some of the ones you point out although a lot of these don't seem that obvious to me. Take a look at the 16 Double Die on the buffalo -- it looks a lot more prominent than these. It certainly makes sense that there would be some doubling in Lincoln -- I was trying to figure out how there could only be doubling in the lettering and date.

Living and learning -- that's why I'm here!:whistle:

 

So why all the fuss? I have seen thousands of coins like that after an afternoon in the neighborhood bar. And some even have 3 sides. :whistle:

 

Hey, Carl, I know what you mean. After a few rum and cokes, and maybe a couple margaritas, my change starts looking like this:

 

I'm gonna be sick. Gorgeous coins as always. I just took a 3K loan to get a nice 1955/55 but the one i wanted went for more. Hopefully on down the road get a half descent one. Again, great coin.

 

That's it! I cannot take it anymore!! One, God.. just give me one!

 

Mmmmm hmmm!

 

That is a BEAUTIFUL coin Penny Lady! Have you thought about creating an album on cointalk to display all of your beautifully toned copper? You have the nicest toned copper coins I have ever seen, and it would be great to see them all together.:smile

 

Well you can always check out the collection here:

I like the 1942 in MS66BN. Just has an interesting color to it.

Also like that 1919 broadstruck, haven't seen that one before

 

nice coin, charmy!! Your "cents" are anything but common!

 

Thanks Mike, you beat me to it! I created a separate page on my website just for my personal coins.

And I'm very glad you are enjoying my coins, as I do enjoy sharing them with all of you.

 

I've installed a "drool bucket" right here underneath my desk, and I pull it out when I look at posts of your coins

 

Oh, Noodle, now that kind of flattery really gets my heart pounding!Kiss

 

That 1919 broadstruck, is it deep enough to be a drool bucket?
Also, what is a 'doily holder?'

 

That is one stunning collection!!!:bigeyes:

 

Charmy another beautiful coin , your taste in coins never ceases to amaze me , keep it up .

Thanks Ik and RZ! And Noodle, not quite sure if my B/S is deep enough to qualify for drool bucket status, but I like it because it's a TONED error.

And a Doily holder is a very rare PCGS holder that was only used for about a month in 1986 I believe (sort of a transition from rattler holders to full-sized holders), and is basically a rattler or flatpack holder with an extra slab around the edge to make it full size. Many Doilys no longer have the extra edge holder since they tended to beak easily and fall off (mine still has the edge). And the Doily designation comes from the tiny doily design pattern on the label. Also, when you do find a Doily coin, most likely it will be a dollar in the holder, so finding an Indian cent (and a pretty one) is why I kept that coin.

 

Thanks, I just got up and learned something already.
