The 1958 [P] (Philadelphia) Lincoln/Wheat Cent is known to have a rare Doubled Die obverse variety. Only three are known to exist and prior sale prices are quite high. None are known to exist with a “D” (Denver) mint mark and significant die doubling. Also, the only year that coins were originally produced with a “V.D.B.” mark on the reverse was the first year of the Lincoln/Wheat cent (1909). This over-strike proposes a “what if ?” scenario where a “V.D.B.” mark on the reverse side was included for the last year of the Wheat reverse. The “D” mint mark of the over-strike exhibits a “D” over horizontal “D” re-punching. Struck over 1958-D Lincoln/Wheat Cents. Most have a vertical die crack through the "T" of CENT.

NOTE: Defacing of US coins is legal so long as the defacement isn't for fraudulent purposes.

By purchasing one or more of these, the buyer agrees to provide full disclosure of their origin when reselling them. Failure to provide potential buyers with complete and accurate information when offering these could result in criminal and/or civil fraud charges. In other words, don't try to sell to unaware buyers as original coins of this variety.

Since these are over-struck on existing coins, there may be faint evidence of the original coin design showing since the over-strike is usually not perfectly aligned with the original strike.
