HOW TO SPOT THE 1958 DOUBLED DIE PENNY (3 CHECKS)
Step 1: Look for Doubling
- Zoom in on the text (use a 10x loupe).
- Key areas to check:
- “ONE CENT” (letters appear shadowed)
- “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” (visible doubling)
Step 2: Verify the Date
- Must be 1958 (no other years have this error).
- Mint mark: Philadelphia (no mint mark).
Step 3: Check Condition
