Greysheet Catalog Details (GSID: 2303)

The 1995 Cent is part of a series of Lincoln obverse; Memorial reverse coins struck from 1959-2008. The specific variety is Doubled Die Obverse. Struck in Philadelphia and designated as a Business (MS) strike, this coin is made of 99.2% zinc; 0.8% copper from a mintage of 6,411,440,000 struck.
The 1995 doubled die exhibits strong doubling in the inscriptions LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST, with doubling evident to the naked eye. This variety is considered the last doubled die of its kind, as soon after the creation of this error the Philadelphia and Denver Mints moved to a single hub procedure that eliminated the creation of doubled die varieties. The discovery of the 1995 doubled die cent during the spring of that year led to many media stories about this error. While considered rare at first, tens of thousands of examples turned up and this coin became widely available, and it remains relatively affordable.
Obverse: Bust of Abraham Lincoln framed by IN GOD WE TRUST on the top periphery. The word LIBERTY to the left of the portait and the date postioned on the right side.
Reverse: Lincoln memorial building centered with words ONE CENT, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA on top and bottom periphery. E PLURIBUS UNUM centered above the top of the memorial.

About CDN Prices

All CDN prices are based on proprietary market knowledge and technology developed by CDN Publishing, LLC.

CPG® prices represent retail levels. Collectors should refer to CPG values as a starting place for their negotiations, or auction bid reference.

Greysheet/Greensheet prices are wholesale market levels for collectible coins/paper money intended to indicate what a dealer, or wholesale, buyer would pay for the described item in the specified grade. Greysheet/Greensheet represent "sight-seen" values based on a buyer's in-hand review. The actual value can be more or less than this depending on factors including eye appeal and market timing.

Bluesheet (NGC & PCGS) prices represent the highest sight-unseen offers to buy on dealer networks like CDN Exchange. In many cases, there are no active sight-unseen buy offers, so CDN looks to the recent lowest market values for such an item. For this reason, Bluesheet values typically represent the floor of the market for the specified item. CDN only tracks Bluesheet on certain items.

CAC prices are for U.S. coins that meet the standards of the Certified Acceptance Corporation. You can learn more about CAC on their web site.

Price movement is indicated for price changes in the last 30 days.

The prices listed in our database are intended to be used as an indication only. Users are strongly encouraged to seek multiple sources of pricing before making a final determination of value. CDN Publishing is not responsible for typographical or database-related errors. Your use of this site indicates full acceptance of these terms.
