That year has known double dies listed in the PCGS price guide (<a href="http://www.pcgs.com/prices/priceguidedetail.aspx?ms=1&pr=1&sp=1&c=46&title=lincoln+cent+(wheat+reverse))BEFORE" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgs.com/prices/priceguidedetail.aspx?ms=1&pr=1&sp=1&c=46&title=lincoln+cent+(wheat+reverse))BEFORE" rel="nofollow">http://www.pcgs.com/prices/priceguidedetail.aspx?ms=1&pr=1&sp=1&c=46&title=lincoln cent (wheat reverse)</a>) BEFORE YOU GET EXCITED, this one does not seem to be more than a "poorman's DD" (barely noticeable, so it wouldn't fetch as much as they're suggesting. You can always check ebay to see what people have paid for them recently. Pricing in general too via the grading company is a handy reference:<a href="http://www.pcgs.com/prices/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgs.com/prices/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pcgs.com/prices/</a> I'm not the person to ask about strong strikes, and it may be that the new die is just a great detail die. Surely I'd want to get that last penny in a mylar or NON-PVC sleeve to protect the good detail in the statue/bushes of the lincoln memorial. Best of luck![/QUOTE]
