The 1955 doubled die Lincoln penny is one of the most famous error coins produced by the United States Mint. The doubling on the obverse is dramatic and can be seen without magnification. It is most prevalent on the date, the motto “LIBERTY” and “IN GOD WE TRUST.” The coin’s reverse was made correctly and does not exhibit any doubling.
If you think you may have found one of these coins, look at it carefully. Remember, this is not a “double-struck” coin. Instead, notice that the raised detail of the coin is doubled. When a coin is double struck, the second strike will flatten the detail from the first strike.
