1955 Doubled Die Lincoln Cent (1c)

The 1955 Doubled Die Obverse Lincoln Cent is one of the most famous errors in U.S. coinage. Known for its dramatic doubling of the obverse features, including IN GOD WE TRUST, LIBERTY, and the date, this error captured the attention of collectors immediately upon its discovery. With an estimated mintage of roughly 20,000 pieces, spotting one in any condition is a delight, but finding one in better grades is a real treasure.

This coin, graded AU55BN by CACG, showcases significant original detail and gorgeous original color. The coin displays a rich, even brown patina that enhances the visual doubling on the obverse and has significant traces of original-mint red showing through in the protected areas. The surfaces are remarkably clean with minimal marks, providing excellent eye appeal for the grade. This is truly a standout piece.
