Why do you ask about these? do you see something special?
The 2005-D is worth 1 cent, but most of them are 95% copper (after 1982 they were/are made of zinc) putting value at about 2 cents each and the 1955 is a wheatie, so it is worth 5 to 10 cents.

The second image shows signs of doubling to me. A better picture would be helpful but it looks like something is happening there; to me. Others will perhaps comment on this as well but I say its a keeper. Cheers.

With all do respect,you need to practice your photo taking skills. It can be tough with the lighting I know. What are you using now? I don't think I would keep any of the coins posted. John1  |

Interestingly enough, I'd keep them all except the 2003 D. As a rule, I keep every wheat ear I find, everything minted in San Francisco, and everything pre 1983 except 82s struck on zinc that are also badly damaged. I say this to contrast the notion that all of those pictured coins are rejects. At the same time, I don't see anything worth certifying either; though I'd like to see a better pic of that 1982 with doubling on the date. It's probably MD or DDD and won't pay off the mortgage, but it still is kind of neat, and maybe even worth a buck. I'm just saying. |

Margie , what you have is called common date and average grade Lincoln cents. No numismatic value. Are you a newcomer to the hobby ? if so, we can answer any coin related question you may have.  |

Keep in mint the large date cents for the 1982 all look thicker in size of the devices. But there is one that shows the spread:  Note the side by sides that the normal coins devices look wider, but are normal for the large date. (usually the upper image of the side by side) But note the spread on the doubled die. (usually the lower image) |

Your 82 does show signs of doubling. Could use a larger and clearer photo. And your 55 appears to be what is known as a poor man's doubled die. The last 5 shows a shadow that is from what is called Machine Doubling. |

Jacuvelier wrote a pretty good piece for ebay regarding fake offers of doubled die strikes. http://www.ebay.com/gds/How-to-spot...58006/g.htmlWhat helped me a great deal was learning the importance of a notch along the line of suspected doubling, and that when a date appears to be doubled and the mint mark too, it almost certainly is not from a doubled die. Regarding Margie's 1982, I again say I wish I could see it better because I can vaguely see notching near the arrows I added by the date, And I see doubling on the LIBERTY device as well.  Also, before I forget again: Margie, I am glad you are here, and that you asked your question. |
