    The bad pictures make it look like a photoshop special....not only is there a large spread according to the images but the dates are rotated counter clockwise to one another as well image

    That would be a rather difficult Photoshop job to make them both come out that way. It looks like a legitimate double-struck error, and would probably benefit from being holdered by a TPG as double-struck (unless, of course, it's not a U.S. Mint product). The cheaper one looks to have a bigger spread than the more spendy one, too.

    $4500? Guess how many he'll sell at that price. Or any price for that matter.

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    That 1964 Cent is a counterfiet second strike.

    From a well-known court case in New York in
    around 1964/65.

    Coin World had a good series of articles on it;
    they still show up now and then.

    The second strike is from fake/false dies.

    Somewhere I have a roll of these, it was my understanding that they were produced & marketed by a Rhode Island dealer in the mid 60's, would love to see the original articles if anyone can post them.

    I have seen a 1972 with almost as much space between the doubling. Had a chance to buy it and didn't. Been kicking myself every since. Sorry I don't have a pic, the guy that owned it showed it to me in person.
    If I remember correctly, the spacing was parallel instead of angled on the '72.

    I, too, would love to see the articles. I have a multiple struck 64 cent. I count something like 7 strikes on the obverse (nothing on the reverse). Fred has seen it via PCGS submission a couple of years ago and said it was from man-made dies.
