I found one on ebay, the pictures arent the greatest so I am skeptical to say the least, I checked a few sources and they only mention the 1955/56 & 58 so either this is a one off of its not what it appears to be... any comments welcome Report this Post to the Staff

Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 08/18/2005 12:44 am I just checked Breen and there is no reference to a Doubled Die for the 1957-D. Can you post a link to the auction or links to the pics? Report this Post to the Staff
robocp Valued Member United States 146 Posts	Posted 08/18/2005 12:59 am There are lot's of actual double die's but not all are recomgnized. I spoke with PCGS about a year ago about a 1943-s triple die, There was no doubt about it, They informed me that it probably was, but not all double die's are not double die's(they lost me here} They said the coin must have stuck to the die, and got stamped again. Which I thought would be double die. But in fact. The die had to be double die, not the coin being stamped numerous time's. Report this Post to the Staff

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 08/18/2005 11:50 am The pics are poor at best, but in my opinion that is Strike Doubling and adds no value to the coin !!! Rick Report this Post to the Staff
Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 08/18/2005 11:53 am I believe it's Machine Doubling and, as Metalman said, does not add value to the coin. If you can get out of purchasing this, I would if I were you. Report this Post to the Staff
adobero1 Valued Member United States 363 Posts	Posted 08/19/2005 12:48 am I just noticed that Wexler has some doubled die obverse 1957 D's for sale on ebay. He is talking about a doubled eyelid though. Unfortunately, he doesn't show scans of these particular items since he's selling them rather cheaply. If he says they're real though I believe him. I think Wexler knows of doubled dies for every Lincoln Cent date ever struck! But, some are almost microscopic and not much in demand. This particular one that we have been talking about looks like Strike Doubling to me too, though the picture is pretty dark. Report this Post to the Staff
