“The Pinnacle of Rarity: The 1958 Doubled Die Lincoln Cent”
"The Pinnacle of Rarity: The 1958 Doubled Die Lincoln Cent" is a captivating representation of one of the rarest and most significant varieties in American numismatic history. This artwork immortalizes the 1958 Doubled Die Lincoln Cent, a coin renowned for its dramatic doubling of the inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "LIBERTY."
As the artist, I must admit that this piece presented a unique set of challenges. The intricate polishing lines in the field, each comprising two or three different lines of varying shades, required hours of meticulous work to replicate accurately. I was determined to capture the raised appearance of these lines, and the end result was well worth the effort.
Despite the challenges, I was thrilled with the final outcome, and I'm surprised that it hasn't resonated more with collectors. Nevertheless, I remain proud of this piece, which showcases my ability to capture the intricate details and nuances of this numismatic marvel.
