gwpoulos New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 10/04/2015 01:34 am Hi all, I'm not going to say I found a 1990 no-s cent, but, I found a 1990 cent, no mint mark (presumable Philly). This cent is in great condition, however, it is not mirriored finished. under a 60x loup you can't see flow lines either though it clearly has not been protected and has lost some of its luster. Lincoln appears to have a very fine and consistent texture that reminds one of frosted. The letter and numbers are as clear and strong as I've ever seen. Oh yeah, the revese is in like fashion except that the entire reverse has been double struck. Any ideas on worth and/value? Working on getting a pic. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

gwpoulos New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 10/04/2015 03:18 am Double die, my mistake. The reverse is struck twice leaving an outline around all the figures, images. its hard to get a good pic w my phone lol .. you can see some of it in "CENT" Also, on the top of the memorial you can see four lines in the center instead of the usual 2.

cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 10/04/2015 04:12 am I think I know what you mean. Compare it to some of the images on this page: http://www.lincolncentsonline.com/m...oubling.html There you can learn about the different types of doubling that can be found on coins.

durkastani Valued Member United States 452 Posts	Posted 10/04/2015 04:16 am I don't see any die doubling either. This is a very nice 1990 P penny however. Report this Post to the Staff
