Seventh1 New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 12/30/2008 8:03 pm Found some interesting coins over the last few weeks. One being a 1979 steel penny (I used a magnet and it stuck). And the other is a 1995 D that is doubled only in "In God We Trust". Unfortunately I couldn't get any good pics of IN GOD but the doubling was not as strong as WE TRUST. Also I couldn't see any doubling in the date, mint mark or in liberty. Not sure what to make of it so I thought I'd post a few pictures to see what people thought of it.

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 12/30/2008 8:09 pm Okay...your 1979 cent is plated in something magnetic. It's just a normal coin that's been damaged by plating. And so...the good news. Your 1995D cent is a rare and valuable doubled die. I cannot see what grade it's in from your images, but it appears to be at least AU. In that grade, the coin is worth a cool $100-$150. There are only a few dozen of these known, they are FAR less common that the far better known 1995P doubled die. That's one HECK of a find there guy. Chalk up another very rare case of someone strolling in saying they have doubling, and instead of seeing the usual Machine Doubling, it really is a rare doubled die! Report this Post to the Staff
