    Not sure if this goes in What's It Worth or here.
    Found this in some change yesterday. Looks like a 1955 Lincoln Cent "Poorman's Double Die". Are these worth anything? I know they are fun to look at. What are they worth? A buck or two in VF?

    Hmmmmm - I'm gonna leave this one to the error experts to say for sure. But that one looks like the real McCoy to me - not the poorman's :D

    I'm not sure this poorman could take that kind of excitement. I'll have to wait and see what happens. I won't get my hopes up too high.
    Notice how I only showed the date and the reverse? The obverse is a little... green.

    This is indeed the "poor man's" double die. They do carry a slight premium in the upper grades. Mostly they are fun to own and study.

    The big DDO has distinct doubling in the date and legends.
