Coin and Paper Money Collecting/Misprinted Penny

Question
Have a 2000 Penny with a Lincoln Memorial stamped on each side and Lincoln's profile stamped on top of the Memorial on one side.  Is this worth anything?  Thank you for your expertise.

Answer
Mis-struck coins are always fun, but the value will pretty much wide open.  By that I mean that is is worth what a collector will pay on any given day.
I have handled quite a few "flip-over" double strikes over the years.  They usually go for between $75 and $200.

Check on eBay for similar coins for current valuation.

Best regards
Joe
