1968 S Error - The Doubled Die Obverse
Collectors have identified an error that appears on very few 1968 S Lincoln Memorial pennies. This error can potentially make the coin worth a significant amount of money, depending on strike type and severity of the error.
Referred to as a Doubled Die error, this error occurs when a coin is struck from a die that has part of the image doubled on it, leading some elements to appear to overlap themselves.
Sometimes this error results in very subtle doubling, while on other occasions the doubling can be quite strong and can be seen from a distance.
For the case of the 1968 S Lincoln Memorial Penny, the doubling can be found on the obverse of the coin and is referred to as doubled die obverse, or DDO. Specifically, this error can be seen in the date, as well as the mint mark.
Other elements of the obverse can be affected by the doubling, including the word, “LIBERTY,” and the motto, “IN GOD WE TRUST.”
This error can be found on both the regular and proof strikes but is more commonly found on circulation strikes. Since this type of error can not easily be seen from far away, some form of magnification is required to view the error.
Value of 1968 S Doubled Die Obverse
Since mint errors for any denomination of coins are very rare, the value is normally much higher than a regularly struck coin without an error. True Doubled Die errors are normally highly sought after by collectors, more than other types of errors.
Due to the scarcity of the 1968 S Doubled Die Obverse Lincoln Memorial cents, the prices are normally high but depend on collector demand.
Proof 1968 S DDOs are worth much more due to their lower mintage and more regulated minting process. A Proof-67 1968 S DDO Lincoln Memorial Cent graded by ANACS recently sold for 9 on Heritage. The PCGS graded strikes can be worth significantly more.
The prices stated above are only approximate, as these coins do not come on the market often. To get the most money for your 1968 S DDO Lincoln Memorial penny, you should send it to a third-party grading service that is known for attributing mint errors, such as PCGS or NGC.
Remember, these errors are extremely rare and not often found in circulation. Any suspected 1968 S DDO should be examined by a reputable coin dealer or grading company.
