Assuming you have it there (which would be “here” for you) and not somewhere else, yes, you do - a 1957-D Lincoln cent.😉

Doesn’t look like doubling on the 1, 9, 5? Under magnification it’s fairly strong. My iPhone doesn’t pick it up well.

Machine doubling.

Why the posting about a different theft from two years ago?

@HalfDime
Congratulations if those are your coins!
Well done, someday those and the Spouses will get their due!?

Is this the coin? https://www.ebay.com/itm/406003155770?_skw=cheerios+dollar+ms63&itmmeta=01K14R5BFVVSD1ZE4G3G4JN10B&hash=item5e87ac833a:g:Ew0AAeSwSGVoPqET&itmprp=enc:AQAKAAAA0FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1ctuQ96iDWkTkYFaR92y1QxpIdmSKhDviQZDGAQ0fXPGyoLulqO+zwCqGQ8/blA+TEZgnRzYBewLpQxzzPLY9EiGYPX99xOsjzWjlBX8zJD1eofY9rQ0EZuV44zd+1PdTtJc73yApdnySDO6cWnPlPMDj8dP8+3PcZ2cJofHmcs+lt8KomujS8FfwmDw5GCiyLka5/G5vNB5ginKvhPAZ7sYr1hPIXsgalxxppzH6z8nAWbtlmhaV25/1UOfCuASxU=|tkp:Bk9SR5C4lZiJZg

If so, the listed minimum bid ($6000) and Buy It Now ($7800) prices from when it went unsold are so unrealistically high that my guess is he wouldn’t be willing to sell it for a reasonable price.

Based on sales of various higher grade examples I viewed in the Heritage archives, I’d probably figure the coin in the (edited) $3000 price range. Others might have very different thoughts on that.

Now I'm confused, which doesn't take much. The guy I'm talking to is in Maryland. The seller of that coin/listing is/was apparently in Pennsylvanian. I had not seen that listing. I did a search for most recent sales on eBay but only a couple of high grades popped up, not that one. I was under the impression the coin had not been listed anywhere, although it never sold.

That must be the same coin! There is only one 63 listed in the ANACS pop report. I'll be making a phone call.

In any event, I think my question here has been answered. It's mostly likely still going to be out of my range.

I found the listing under “Completed Items”. If it is the same coin perhaps the collector/owner had the eBay seller list it for sale on his behalf.

That is possible.

It's also possible the census is incorrect
