<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jeankay, post: 375092, member: 12159&quot;]Hi eddiespin, </p><p>This 58 seems to be a rather nice strike for the year. A lot of these are a bit more mushy and lack the nice detail on the ear and the lettering. </p><p>Do you have access to Charles Daughtrey&#039;s book, &quot;Looking Through Lincoln Cents&quot;?</p><p>On page 219 he mentions that doubled dies are on the light side this year, other than the double eyelid. Then he goes on to say that one very strong doubled die is known on 1958 plain business strike cents, but there are very few known specimens.</p><p>You should probably check his website coppercoins.com and see if this one is listed there.</p><p>It is sometimes difficult to see die cracks on photographs but I think I see one at the back of Lincolns hair, about the 9:00 position, that meanders up and across nearly at the middle of his hair and about half way across his forehead. Unless scratches are purposely done, I find they almost always make straighter lines.</p><p>Let us know what else you might find out about this coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>jeankay[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
