BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19987 Posts	Posted 02/28/2019 12:29 am WOW! That's one of the most amazing finds I've ever heard of. This is one of the holy grail coins for Memorial cents. I can clearly see the doubling in LIBERTY and GOD - CONGRATS! Beautiful red and brown color, MAD (guess that's normal for these, see below). A few small ticks here and there but nothing major. I put it at AU-55 wear wise but the eye appeal and being a rare doubled die: AU-58 SWEET COIN! Lincoln Cent Lover!

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19987 Posts	Posted 02/28/2019 12:34 am Here's the crazy thing....I have one nearly identical! However, I acquired mine in a trade, gave up on ever finding one. Notice - it's a MAD too. I used that as one of the diagnostics in determining if it was genuine. Lincoln Cent Lover!

EzMoney New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 02/28/2019 12:42 pm Thanks BadThad, I think I got lucky with this one for sure. I also used the MAD and the die scratch under Pluribus to confirm it. Its my first doubled die that isn't a copper plated zinc cent so I'm happy. You have a nice example too, thanks for sharing. Its always cool to check out other examples of the same coin. So I think the consensus here is AU-58. Thanks for the help everyone! Report this Post to the Staff
