Reliving 1955. Since we are going to be going back to 1955 prices, is it coincidence that the 1955 Lincoln penny was double struck at the mint?

 

THE 1955 Lincoln obverse cent is one of the most unique coins in existence and you're very lucky if you happen to have one in your possession.

 

Since 1909, the US Mint has struck cents that feature 16th US President Abraham Lincoln.

 

And interestingly, there have been minted Lincoln coins that are quite rare and much more valuable than their original one-cent denomination today.

 

Typically, a coin gets its rarity from either (or both) its low mintage or an error.

 

We explain what makes the 1955 Lincoln obverse coin so valuable.

 

What is the Lincoln 1955 penny and why it's valuable?

The 1955 obverse coin was designed by Victor David Brenner.

 

Most importantly, this is said to be the most famous double die penny of all of them.

 

A double die means that there is a duplicate of letters, numbers, or words of a coin.

 

For instance, on this coin, you can clearly see “In God We Trust,” “Liberty,” and “1955” all doubled on the obverse on the coin.
