He did tell me that the 1955/1955 Lincoln has a special status because it is so apparent. Please remember that a frequent subtopic of my series on collecting classic U.S. coins for less than $500 each is the coins that are required for complete sets. JA is saying the 1955/1955 Lincoln is required, though other Doubled dies are not required for their respective sets. </p><p><br /></p><p>IMO, 1955/1955 Lincoln and the 1916/1916 nickel have a special status as distinct &#039;dates&#039; for two reasons: 1) the doubling is very blatant; 2) the doubling relates to the numerals in the &#039;date.&#039; So, these two are particularly important to people collecting &#039;by date and mint.&#039; </p><p><br /></p><p><b><a href="http://www.coinweek.com/education/coin-grading/how-will-coin-collectors-interpret-certified-coin-grades-in-the-future/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinweek.com/education/coin-grading/how-will-coin-collectors-interpret-certified-coin-grades-in-the-future/" rel="nofollow">How will Coin Collectors Interpret Certified Coin Grades in the Future?</a></b></p><p><br /></p><p><b><a href="http://www.coinweek.com/expert-columns/classic-u-s-coins-less-500-part-11-standing-liberty-quarters/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinweek.com/expert-columns/classic-u-s-coins-less-500-part-11-standing-liberty-quarters/" rel="nofollow">Classic U.S. Coins for less than $500 each, Part 11: Standing Liberty Quarters</a></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
