As I always say, they are out there. Just found this one in a bag of mixed memorial cents. Superb coin with eye appealing rose toning in top condition. I bought a lot of coins this summer to go through, and gonna be fun to see what else shows up, but this one will be tough to beat. 1995 Lincoln Memorial cent doubled die - DDO-001, FS-101    |

Wow! That is truly a beautiful coin. A coin with that kind of eye appeal should definitely be considered for third-party grading.

Thanks for all the kind words!!! And certainly a winner when the Frog can see it. There are so many of these graded that even in this condition I'm not sure it's worth it, but I just might do it as a slab would really show off all that color. My photos do not really show how much rose toning there is. I expect it would go MS67.

I agree it should go at least ms67.

 Congrats! Beautiful DDO in real nice condition. *Not that easy to find in circulation even though it is a more common DDO.* |

Very nice, a beauty! It's amazing how many of these are on the market but how little are found in circulation. So many people saved these when they first came out, but it's a good thing that it gives us all a chance to own such a nice example of a big DDO. Yours is exceptional! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage
