I came across this penny today. Something about it didn't look right to my eye. Wasn't quite sure what. I took the photo below to magnify it for viewing when I noticed the edge near liberty. Looks almost like a triple die (if that's even possible) I then looked at the numbers and noticed they seem slightly thicker, that Lincoln's profile seems less well defined. Does this look like a double die to anyone else? And if so, what's the minimum it would be worth? I say minimum, because the back has toning close to that of a salt and vinegar bath.
Hello, I am not to sure about the doubling you are seeing. But what I do see is a good example of a Misaligned Die Strike. The left side of the Cent has a good looking False Double rim. I collect these but can say that they really don't carry any premium. Also.. this occurs a lot on Cents minted in the 1970's
Your background is blurry. So is the coin because your camera wasn't rock steady when you took the picture. Lighting quite decent. Try it with a different background having some crisp sharp edges. Find something to brace your camera as it is unlikely you're going to be able to get a sharp enough picture hand held. Show the back too if you want a useful minimum value in case it happens to be something.
