You're insane. It's not a dime.
Government is the great fiction through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else. - Bastiat
I’m leaning towards insane but could be talked into the other
Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
What are we looking for? I don’t see anything that makes this cent worth more than 1c.
Always buying nice toned coins! Searching for a low grade 1873 Arrows DDO Dime and 1842-O Small Date Quarter.
Nope. I don't see John Wilkes Booth peering out from the second column.
So there's no doubling in this ? It doesn't look extra thick anywhere like in the bottoms of the T or in the D ?! Wtf? I will never get it!!!
Do you think it is a Lincoln Memorial cent reverse?, Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner
Rare coins are...........
Wait for it..........
RARE!!!!!
Did you check on Variety Vista or Coppercoins or in the Cherry Picker’s Guide and is there a confirmed DDR for this date/mint?
Broken record, but....what is the date, is there a known DD for that date, do you know the difference between a DD and MD, have you read the links many have posted....
Never mind. Lost cause....
If there was a way to push the "Agree" button twenty gazillion times I would. Is there?
"Alice, it's happening again!"

Nothing to see here folks, move along.
I am seeing double here
PMD to the letters
Evetbody just **ignore **them
Ummmm........
(Crickets chirping).
It will help if the OP will state what it is he/she thinks they see in the first post.
It might also help to consider this:
If there is any way the "thing" you are seeing can be created by humans, or machines, or tools, or circulation...then it can't possibly be worth anything, or the smart folks here would me making them by the dozens!!
True mint errors are interesting, collectible, and sometimes valuable, precisely because they could ONLY be created at the mint, by mistake or accident.
Hoard the keys.
Send it to PCGS! I'm sure I see a basketball player on top of the memorial building AND a bow tie fantastic. Awesome find!

It appears to be one of the very late 1958 cents.
Best to get it to our host via Brinks.
I accept the OP's suggested premise that they are not mutually exclusive
Why are they mutually exclusive?

Sorry, misread initially and edited for additional confusion
It is a Lincoln cent and not an error/variety.... Cheers, RickO
It is a coin of absolutely no numismatic importance even if there is doubling. The current trend evident on this board of collectors looking for extremely minor varieties, probably in the hope of striking it rich, is darkly amusing. Minor varieties are the realm of cherry-pickers and cherry-pickers don't pay premiums for such coins ... they only cherry-pick them.
I don't see anything special with this coin.
Many years ago I had a book on doubled die Lincoln cents. It listed a large number of them, but the doubling was so minor on many of them that few people would have cared. When it takes a 10X or stronger to see the doubled die, it's not going to have a collector premium.
Another point is that most of the coins you have posted have been damaged. Damage makes it harder to confirm what it is, and also knocks down the value of the piece to a great degree, even if it is a doubled die. People here are trying to help, but beyond being an academic exercise, there is no “gold mine” here when you find material of this sort.

Is your question related to the images posted or just a general question?

The original Dawkins quote, if memory serves was, "ignorant, stupid or insane". The one I chose for you will remain private.
Is that a jack rabbit sitting at the bottom of the stairs? IF so be sure PCGS labels it as such for grading.
And we wonder why this hobby is in the doldrums... you guys are chasing off fresh blood. Most of us didn't start out collecting five figure pieces.

I don’t believe for a second that you think there’s anything unusual about that coin.
You are just trying to be an attention whore, so I shall name you “Kardashicoin”
absolutely send to PCGS and get that puppy graded. Then post pics in the slab, can't wait.
Good luck,

@SanctionII , instead of just dropping "disagrees " how about actually posting a comment?
