Description
1969-S Lincoln Cent, AU55
Doubled Die Obverse, FS-101
1969-S 1C Doubled Die Obverse, FS-101, AU55 PCGS. CAC. This
popular Guide Book and Cherrypickers' variety was
discovered in mid-1970 and is one of the most dramatic and arguably
the rarest variety in the entire series. Strong doubling is obvious
on all obverse lettering and the date. The 1969-S Doubled Die is
listed number one among the 100 Greatest U.S. Modern Coins,
where Scott Schecter and Jeff Garrett note:" ... the overall rarity and mystique of this coin give the king of the Lincoln cent varieties a comfortable seat among the greatest modern U.S. coins."
The present coin is an impressive Choice AU specimen, with only light wear on the well-detailed design elements and lightly abraded steel-brown surfaces. The overall presentation is quite attractive and the high quality within the grade is confirmed by CAC. Population: 9 in 55, 24 finer. CAC: 2 in 55, 13 finer (6/22).
