Hi all! I found these in my search this week and would like to know your thoughts and comments. 1958 - ddo? Because I see what may be double in the date. 1964 - This is interesting to me because it has a shine (almost light gold like)and it has a sandy almost sandblast texture to it on both obverse & reverse. This one Ive had for some time. 1969 - I was thrown back a bit. You see, what I see is what looks like extended hair going down Lincolns back collar onto the coatcollar. Seriously my pictures do not do these coins justice on what I see. 2000 - I see what looks like an extra but I could be wrong. I will post another picture so you can get a more obvious view. Foud other coins but these are ones that stood out to me. Thank you.
1958-Nothing. 1964-Not sure. May be heated or slightly sanded down to be given a strange texture. 1969-I don't see what you're talking about. Maybe you can post another pic if possible? 2006-I don't see what you're talking about. What do you mean by an "extra"? BTW, is the first pic the reverse of the '64?
Sorry, still not a pro at picture taking. Yes the reverse pic is of the 1964 obverse. I will try taking another picture of the 1969 and on the 2006 I meant another ear (lobe). Again, sorry I need to take better pictures learn how much light to use and not use for more detail. I will try taking better ones.
No, those aren't extra earlobes. The way that the cent obverse was designed makes it look like two earlobes.

You know I think that to be true on all 3 ... 58 ddo, 69 extended hair , 2000 ddo ear. I know what I am seeing is there but cant explain it. Yet, I havent received much of responses from anyone. Usually dont. Appreciated the response I did get but I would more appreciate responses from experts with much more years of experience. But at least someone responded. lol ...thanks for responding lol
I would like to see some close ups of the 2006. As for the others there is nothing. 1958 is strike doubling.
BUSYEYE I have over 40 years experience in error and variety coins. How many more years do you need than that ? The 2006 coin was the only one I see that looks like it may be worth any premium above face value. The 64 cent in your photo looks like it has been lost underground for several years or maybe come into contact with acid. The 58 cent you have may possibly be a 8 over 7 in the date but your photo don't show anything. The long hair cent you are trying to describe I have never heard of such a thing. All mint dies are made almost identical to each other , maybe something scraped against this coin and caused the hair to look this way.
Oh no rascal! As I went to bed right after I posted, I said to myself; Gee I hope he doesnt think I was commenting about him!! Wheres that insert foot in mouth character! Please accept my apologies, I certainly was not speaking of you. I should try not to justify what I meant either for fear of inserting another foot in mouth lol. Im learning well from mistakes others make on this forum. I'm with you on the 64, because its almost like a sandpaper texture and I can see how acid can do that. On the 58, its funny you mentioned you thought it was a 7 because when I first looked at it it looked like a 7 to me too until a closer look I see an 8. Could it be an 8 struck over 7. Just looks crowded over on the date area. And again I agree on the 2000. Thanks for responding in kind with regard to my previous comment...you were easy on me. LOL!

I really need to get another camera. But I hope these help a little. double click on the pic, you'll get to 2 close ups 1 of the 2 is better.
Your apoligy is accepted . I'm going to try to add a link here so you can see what a 2006 doubled ear coin looks like. If your coin is identical to it then that's what you have. You need to be on the lookout for the better 2006 doubled die cent while searching thru your coins. all of the letters and date is doubled on it and they are really expensive and hard to find. click on this link.http://www.lincolncentresource.com/doubledies/2006ddo4.html
rascal, it's a definate 2006 dd ear!! And duh, dunno why I didn't think to look there in the first place. Thanks for redirecting me & for more info on the 2006. Much appreciated.
