"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.

About polished aluminum Prints
Our polished aluminum prints are crafted using an innovative process that infuses dyes directly into specially coated aluminum sheets. Because the image becomes part of the surface, rather than sitting on top of it, the result is an almost magical luminescence.
Built to last, the ultra-hard, scratch-resistant surface is both waterproof and weatherproof, allowing for effortless cleaning and care. While these prints thrive in well-lit spaces, we recommend avoiding direct sunlight—just as you would with any fine art piece.
