1971 Doubled Die Cent, FS-101, MS65 Red

1971 1C Doubled Die Obverse MS65 Red PCGS. FS-101, formerly FS-031. Broad doubling or "notching" is most visible at LIBERTY, GOD, and the digits of the date. The obverse die is also slightly misaligned, so that this piece shows a strike that is off-center toward 5 o'clock, where the border is thickest, and thinnest at 11 o'clock. Cherrypickers' says, "This variety can be spotted in a dealer's case from 3 feet away!"
This is a splendid orange-red Gem, with brilliant reflectivity and good eye appeal. No carbon is visible on either side, although the reverse displays some interesting, rough die polishing lines, as made. Certified with the five-digit PCGS variety number for FS-101. Population: 8 in 65 Red, 0 finer (12/09).
