The King of Error Pennies

The 1955 Double Die Lincoln Cent is one of the most famous error coins ever minted. Easily identified by its bold doubled lettering on “LIBERTY” and “IN GOD WE TRUST,” this variety is a must-have for serious coin collectors.

In addition to the classic double die, many collectors also pursue the “Poor Man’s Double Die” — a more affordable version caused by die deterioration. Both types remain extremely popular at auctions and among Lincoln cent specialists.
