Sorry, no photos yet.

These two coins were definitely struck from the same Die Set: however, the Cracks and Cuds are more sever on one, indicating that they aren't necessarily consecutive strikes.

Both coins were taken from an original mint roll years ago, and I had almost forgotten about them.

What is the interest among error collectors for Twin coins?

Is there a resource I can go to for pricing information?

I am so embarrassed...I told you absolutely nothing about the coins...I'm new to forum interaction...OY!

The twins are 1955 Lincoln business strikes.
OBV of both have heavy cracks on forhead and bust.
REV of both have Cuds on the top of the wheat stalks,
and there is a Cud on the 'T' in cent.

Now, I know I should have had pictures ALREADY - Sorry again!

JOHN1,

Thank you, I'll defer to your experience.

Well, at least their red and about MS67-MS68. I guess I was hoping for a Trifecta...;>}

MS67-68 is pretty darn high. I'll have to see it to believe it.
PCGS gives a value of $1,350 to a normal 1955 in MS-67, with nothing for 68.

Pics would be nice. MS 67-68 is high end. Post some pics and I hope they turn out to be MS68
