2013-D Lincoln Shield Cent Double Denomination on Struck 2013-D 10C Unique for the Date
Major mint errors in the Lincoln Shield cent series are extremely rare. This very dramatic 2013-D Lincoln Shield cent was struck over a 2013-D Roosevelt dime. This is referred to as a double denomination and dramatically shows most of the detail from the original dime strike.
It was authenticated and certified AU 58 by PCGS and is unique for the date. There are two known dated 2014-P and two known dated 2015-P. There are no auction records of any that sold in Heritage Auctions, Stack's Bowers or GreatCollections.
Unique and rare Lincoln cent major mint errors have been setting record prices lately. Whether they are mules, transitionals, a unique off-metal or a rare double denomination Lincoln cent, headlines are made and prices continue to rise.
This Lincoln Shield cent double denomination fits beautifully in a collection of major mint errors or Lincoln cents.
Considerable detail from the understrike is visible on the obverse including Roosevelt's portrait and the full date. Part of the torch and the lettering of UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and ONE DIME are visible on the reverse:
