Anyone in here who could help confirm this is a genuine 1988 double clipped planchet, DDO / DDR, off-center strike, spiked head obverse die crack Lincoln Penny. And what it might be valued at. Appreciate any and all help. Hope I did this correctly.     |

 Excellent double clip! Blakesley effect is strong opposite both locations. It does appear to be a Spike head, though I'm not seeing an off-center strike, very mild if so. I don't see any obvious doubling of the ear, so would need closeups of the date to really check. There aren't any 1988 DDR's, I believe. If you're referring to the designer's initials "FG", that spot looks like DDD to me. Too bad it circulated so long! I can't guess on value given the condition. Very cool double clip Spike head  |

To CCF! Excellent find! It's a genuine Clipped Planchet. Blakesley Effect is there too, so that confirms it. As far as value goes, not a whole lot, since it has circulated for so long. Probably worth a few dollars at most, given the condition it's in. Errers and Varietys.

Hi Errers and Varietys, appreciate your response. I was afraid that might be the case since it isn't in the best of shape, but you never know. Ive seen some trash coins selling for thousands. Didn't think this would be one of them but its good to have some of these errors confirmed by more experienced eyes.

On ebay, you'll see tons of coins that are damaged and are not errors from either ignorant sellers or from scammers. You can get genuine error coins on ebay. You just have to be careful and weed through the junk listings and know about how the minting process works. Once you know how the minting process works, you can spot genuine error coins apart from just damaged coins. I'm glad to help. Anytime. I hope you'll continue to post more coins on CCF. I really enjoyed this coin. It's pretty cool how it circulated for so long before being noticed and pulled from circulation. Errers and Varietys.

to the CCF Fun coin, amazed that it lasted so long in the wild before being set aside. *You need to properly crop and rotate your images before posting them here. Please start doing so.*Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

Yes, a decent amount of my collection has just been pocket change. I have a few sets/collections as well. Even some interesting ones, at least to me, such as gold plated nickels, full color silver dollars and half dollars, and some commemorate ones also.
