<p>[QUOTE="jeffusa, post: 541751, member: 17160"]I am convinced that I saw a doubled die lincoln cent as it looked very close to the 1955 doubled die cent with one exception. Instead of two rows of text on the same exact line the second line of text was slightly offcentered by being below and to the right of the first line. It was very clear to the naked eye that all the text on the front of the coin was doubled. There was obvious relief with the two lines of text so that is why I believe it was a double die. This is for a lincoln cent produced in the last few years. </p><p> </p><p>If I would have kept it on hand it would been a very high grade as it appeared to have just been introduced into circulation (I see tons of new coins in Vegas by the way so there could be more in circulation out here, who knows?). I may have cashed it in at a coinstar machine one day when I needed money after forgetting about it. I doubt I have it but I may go through my jar of pennies one day when I am bored. lol </p><p> </p><p>Like one other said, I will forget about the ones that got away but I will keep my eyes open for the ones that come to me in the future.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
