Just found these images while looking through one of LeeG's "Copper for the Weekend" threads from early last year...
figured this was worth sharing in it's own thread
The Only Known Wheat Proof Mint Error - Double Struck.
I placed it in a friends Lincoln collection in early 08, who had to have it to go with his 55 DDO business strikes.
Enjoy!

1955 PROOF Lincoln Cent "Wheat Ears"
Double Struck
ANACS PROOF 64 RED
All major proof errors are extremely rare. This is a unique and spectacular rarity. It is the only known PROOF double struck Lincoln Cent with the "wheat ears" reverse. Coincidentally it has the magic date of 1955 which is the date of the world famous double die. This piece has a slight rotation between both strikes. It is in gem brilliant proof condition.

<< <i>way cool...it looks like abes hair is double too...any chance ya wunna show abe here? >>
Don't proof coins always receive a second strike? Sometimes more?
The name is LEE!
The coin is a legitimate production error.
