Incredible 1955 Doubled Die Cent, MS65 Red
1955 1C Doubled Die Obverse MS65 Red PCGS. FS-101. Due to the manner in which 1955 Doubled Die cents were released to the public, i.e., through vending machines in the Boston area in the summer of 1955, most survivors today show subdued mint red color at best, and most are brown or have just a bit of red remaining. This coin has unusually bright, shimmering orange-red luster with faint traces of cherry-red around the obverse devices. A few flyspecks of carbon are seen over each side, but there are no large spots or obvious abrasions on either the obverse or reverse of this lovely and highly lustrous Gem example. Population: 18 in 65 Red, 0 finer (4/10).
From The Brenda John Collection.(Registry values: N7079) (#2827)
