Best Answer

I double die obverse is when the letters or numbers on the coin such as "In God We Trust" or the year are slightly overlapped (like writing on top of the same word twice). You can tell a double die obverse by looking at the words on the coin.

What is a 1955 double die type 2 worth?

If you are referring to the 1955 Lincoln cent doubled-die obverse coin, it does not have a Type I or Type II identifier. But if you are asking about the so-called "Poor Man's doubled-die", on which the second numeral 5 has a shadow, it's not a true hubb-double and carries very little premium.


Can a double headed quarter be real?

Not if it is a modern coin. Modern coin minting equipment has the obverse (heads) and the reverse (Tails) dies "keyed" meaning that you can't insert an obverse die where the reverse die goes and vice versa. Because of it, it is impossible to have what most people think of a double headed coin. It is however possible to have what is known as a "Brockage" error where a coin gets stuck to the die and then the coin acts as a die for the next coin. This would mean that a coin could have 2 heads, but one side would be a reverse image of the other side.
