1814/3 Overdate

The only $5 gold variety struck in 1814, from a single die pair. Very few survive, because most U.S. gold of this era was shipped overseas and melted.

Crosslet 4

Last year of the Classic Head design. The "4" in the date has a small crossbar (crosslet) at its end. Roughly 3,000 are estimated to survive.

Not struck — no genuine examples exist. No U.S. cents were struck in 1815. It is the only year between 1793 and the end of circulating cent production in November 2025 with no cent. Any coin offered as an 1815 large cent is a fake or an altered date.

Obverse shows a War of 1812 naval battle scene; reverse shows the words "O say can you see" in Francis Scott Key's handwriting over 15 stars and 15 stripes. Marked the 200th anniversary of the anthem.

1814/3 Overdate; E over A in STATES

Edge lettered "FIFTY CENTS OR HALF A DOLLAR." Roughly 4,000 are estimated to survive.

Obverse shows Lady Liberty waving the 15-star, 15-stripe flag with Fort McHenry behind her; reverse shows a modern waving American flag. Marked the 200th anniversary of the anthem.

Plain 4

The "4" has no crossbar. Many Plain 4 cents are believed to have been struck in 1816 from leftover 1814-dated dies. Roughly 1,500 are estimated to survive.

Large Date; Small Date; STATESOFAMERICA

First dimes struck since 1811.

Half Dollar (Proof)

Designed by John Reich, this was the workhorse silver coin of early America. A favorite for variety specialists due to extensive Overton die marriage research.

Transitional error Lincoln cent struck on a leftover 95% copper bronze planchet from 1982, after the Mint officially switched to zinc-core cents. Weighs 3.11 g instead of the standard 2.5 g. Among the rarest of all Lincoln cent errors — fewer are known than 1943 copper cents. Discovered by variety expert Billy Crawford in 2006 from bank rolls. Examples have sold for $22,000–$30,000. Both Philadelphia (no mint mark) and Denver (D) issues exist.

Doubled Die Obverse

The 1936 doubled die obverse exists in three distinct recognized die varieties, with doubling visible to the naked eye in the date and lettering on well-preserved examples. Type 1 is by far the scarcest of the three, while Types 2 and 3 are somewhat more available but still genuinely scarce; across all three types combined, third-party grading services have certified only around 150 examples in every grade, making this one of the more elusive Wheat cent doubled dies. Because multiple distinct die types exist for the same year, correct attribution to the specific type matters for value, and buyers should insist on certification identifying which of the three 1936 doubled dies a given coin represents rather than relying on a general "doubled die" claim. If you believe you have found one of these coins, contact Frostbyte Coins at frostbytecoins@gmail.com or through our YouTube channel @FrostbyteCoins — we can help guide you toward professional third-party authentication through PCGS or NG Designed by Victor David Brenner, it was the first widely circulating U.S. coin to feature a portrait of a real person.

Bronze (Copper) Cent, Transitional Error

Transitional error Lincoln cent struck on a leftover 95% copper bronze planchet from 1982, after the Mint officially switched to zinc-core cents. Weighs 3.11 g instead of the standard 2.5 g. Among the rarest of all Lincoln cent errors — fewer are known than 1943 copper cents. Discovered by variety expert Billy Crawford in 2006 from bank rolls. Examples have sold for $22,000–$30,000. Both Philadelphia (no mint mark) and Denver (D) issues exist.

Doubled Die Obverse (DDO)

The 1969-S Doubled Die Obverse is one of the rarest and most valuable Lincoln cent varieties of the modern era, with fewer than 50 examples known — all struck at the San Francisco Mint on proof planchets. The doubling is bold and unmistakable, showing strong separation on 'LIBERTY,' 'IN GOD WE TRUST,' and the date, nearly as dramatic as the famous 1955 DDO. The rarity and high value of this coin make it one of the most counterfeited Lincoln varieties: struck copies, altered dates, and artificially doubled coins (created by striking a coin twice in a collar) all circulate. The Secret Service has investigated multiple cases of counterfeit 1969-S DDO cents; any example must be authenticated by PCGS or NGC, and the holder serial number should be verified on the grading service's website.

Bugs Bunny die-clash variety

The 1955 Franklin half dollar has the lowest mintage of the entire series at 2,498,181, making it a key date in its own right, and the same year produced the popular "Bugs Bunny" variety, in which a minor die clash left a small horizontal die scratch across Franklin's upper lip that resembles a buck-toothed cartoon rabbit. The Bugs Bunny variety is not separately catalogued as a major FS variety in the way doubled dies are, but it is widely collected and recognized; several thousand examples are known, mostly among 1955 and 1956 issues. Collectors should distinguish a genuine low-mintage 1955 business strike from the more common Proof issues struck the same year.

Doubled Die Obverse, FS-101

The 1958 doubled die obverse is one of the rarest and most valuable varieties in the entire Lincoln cent series, with only three genuine examples known to exist. Doubling is bold and visible to the naked eye in the date, LIBERTY, and IN GOD WE TRUST. Given that just three coins are confirmed genuine, any claimed example must be authenticated by a major grading service without exception — PCGS and NGC census data account for the entire known population, so a coin without an ironclad, verifiable pedigree tracing to one of the three known specimens should be treated with extreme skepticism. This is one of the single most valuable line items that could plausibly turn up in ordinary circumstances, and any credible candidate should be handled with the same care as a life-changing find.

Doubled Die Obverse (DDO)

The 1916 Doubled Die Obverse Buffalo nickel is the key variety of the series, showing strong, bold doubling on LIBERTY and the date that is clearly visible without magnification, making it one of the most visually dramatic doubled dies in American coinage. Genuine doubling shows widely separated, crisp images on LIBERTY and '1916' with no doubling on the reverse (which was struck by a normal die); die deterioration doubling — which shows shelving on just one side of letters — is worthless and commonly misrepresented as the DDO. Most survivors are in circulated grades due to the coin's heavy use during World War I and the 1920s; Mint State examples are exceedingly rare and valuable. Authentication by PCGS or NGC is strongly advised — the substantial premium for a genuine 1916 DDO makes misattribution and fraud commercially worthwhile.

Doubled Die Obverse, FS-101

The 1972 doubled die Lincoln cent (FS-101) is, after the 1955 DDO, the most famous doubled die in the entire series, showing bold, easily visible doubling on the date, LIBERTY, and IN GOD WE TRUST, no magnification required. Roughly 20,000-30,000 examples are believed to have entered circulation before the error was caught, and most survive in circulated grades; strictly uncirculated examples command a large premium. Because the doubling is so dramatic, it is one of the most commonly counterfeited or misidentified varieties, machine-doubling (a worthless mint-caused shelf effect) is frequently mistaken for it, so comparison against verified FS-101 diagnostics or third-party attribution is strongly recommended before assuming a coin is genuine.

Doubled Die Obverse, FS-101

The 1917 doubled die obverse is one of the earliest and most significant doubled die varieties in the Lincoln cent series, predating the far more famous 1955 doubled die by nearly four decades. Doubling is readily visible in the date and in LIBERTY, a product of a misaligned second hubbing during die preparation at the Philadelphia Mint. It is considerably scarcer than many later 20th-century doubled dies and is much sought after by variety specialists building a complete doubled-die set across the series. Because early Lincoln cents saw heavy circulation, well-struck, clearly doubled examples in problem-free condition are hard to find, and certification by a major grading service is recommended to confirm genuine hub doubling rather than ordinary strike or mechanical doubling, which is common on worn early cents and carries no premium.

The 1943/2-P overdate is the only overdate variety in the entire Jefferson nickel series, created when a working die was first hubbed with a 1942 master hub and then re-hubbed with the 1943 date, leaving a crisp "2" visible beneath the "3" — the bottom curve of the 2 protrudes clearly from the lower left of the 3. It was struck in the wartime 35% silver alloy and, though the mintage of the underlying date is large, genuine overdate examples are scarce, especially with the Full Steps reverse strike. The variety was not officially confirmed until 1977, decades after it was struck, so attribution against published FS-101 diagnostics is recommended before assuming a coin is the real variety rather than damage or die deterioration.

Doubled Ear, FS-101

The 1984 doubled die, best known as the "Doubled Ear" variety, shows clear doubling concentrated on Lincoln's ear along with lesser doubling in his beard and bow tie, rather than in the usual date-and-lettering areas seen in most doubled dies. Several thousand examples are believed to exist across all grades, making it more available than the rarest Lincoln doubled dies while still commanding a solid premium, especially in high Mint State red. Because the doubling is concentrated in a small area of the design, it is easy to overlook without knowing exactly where to look, and third-party attribution is recommended to confirm genuine FS-101 doubling versus lesser die markers sometimes mistaken for it.

The 1854-S Liberty Head quarter eagle is a legendary rarity from the first year of production at the San Francisco Mint, with a tiny mintage of only 246 coins. It is considered one of the 'Big Three' rarities of the San Francisco gold series, alongside the 1870-S half dollar and three-dollar gold piece.

1918/7-D Overdate, FS-101

The 1918/7-D Buffalo nickel overdate is one of the most famous and visually dramatic overdates in American coinage, showing the curved remnant of a 7 clearly visible beneath the top of the 8 in the date — evidence that a leftover 1917-dated working die was repunched with 1918 to save on die steel during wartime production pressures. Genuine examples show a distinct curved line and metal bulge inside the lower loop of the 8; the variety is heavily counterfeited by grinding or tooling a normal 1918-D nickel's date, so third-party attribution (FS-101) is essential before any purchase, even in low circulated grades.

Doubled Die Obverse, FS-101

The 1995 doubled die obverse (FS-101) became a minor sensation when it was discovered still in circulation, generating national news coverage; unlike most doubled dies it was struck in large enough numbers (both Philadelphia and Denver produced doubled examples) that tens of thousands survive, keeping the coin affordable and accessible even in high uncirculated grades. The doubling is bold and visible without magnification on LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST. Because it is common relative to other key doubled dies, it is an excellent entry-level variety for new collectors, though buyers should still confirm the FS-101 attribution since minor, non-collectible worthless doubling also exists on 1995 cents.

Doubled Die Reverse, FS-801 (formerly FS-036)

The 1983 doubled die reverse (FS-801) is widely considered the strongest reverse doubled die of the entire Lincoln cent series, with dramatic, naked-eye doubling visible on UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, and ONE CENT along the reverse rim. It is scarcer than the 1972 or 1995 obverse doubled dies and commands meaningful premiums even in circulated grades. Because it is a reverse variety, many collectors overlook it entirely by only checking the obverse date — always examine both sides of 1983 cents. Confirm the FS-801 designation (rather than lesser reverse die doubling varieties from the same year) against a certified reference before assuming a top-tier find.

Three Dollar

Doubled Die Obverse, FS-101

The 1937 doubled die obverse is the second-scarcest major doubled die in the Washington quarter series (after the 1943 doubled die), showing pronounced doubling in the motto IN GOD WE TRUST and a lesser degree of doubling in the date. Most known examples are found in circulated grades, with well-preserved Mint State coins being genuinely rare and valuable. Because worthless machine doubling is common on Washington quarters generally, comparison against verified FS-101 diagnostics or certification by a major grading service is recommended before assuming a coin carries the premium variety.
