Guest Stujoe Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Image Courtesy of iras4 on Ebay This is the famous 1955 Doubled (Double) Die Lincoln Wheat Cent. A Doubled Die coin is created when the hub that is used to make the individual dies is misaligned during one of the impression onto one of the dies. This is one of the most striking examples of this kind of error. For a larger picture of the doubling on the obverse of a different coin (which will open in a new window), you may click here (Large image Courtesy of anaconda.rare.coins on Ebay). For more information on Doubled Dies and how they are created, you may click here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiffibunny Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 That cent freaks me out makes me feel like my vision is blurry. Wish I had my hands on one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockdude Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 It's possible to find DDO's and R's anywhere. I found a 1941 DDO in pocket change. http://www.coinpeople.com/index.php?showtopic=25961 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
