Description
1917 Cent, MS65 Red and Brown
FS-101, Doubled Die Obverse
Rare Guide Book Variety
1917 1C Doubled Die Obverse, FS-101, MS65 Red and Brown PCGS
Secure. Doubling on the obverse legends increases from left to
right, and is strongest on TRUST and the date. This Guide
Book variety is much rarer than its more famous 1955 successor,
and not enough Mint State examples are known to satisfy specialist
demand. Cherrypickers' states that the FS-101 1917 "has
finally become arguably the most sought after of all the early
Lincoln cent varieties." This well-struck, lustrous, and virtually
unabraded Gem is mostly orange-gold aside from blushes of
cobalt-blue and cherry-red on the reverse. As of (7/18), PCGS has
certified 6 as Red and Brown with only 7 pieces finer, all
certified Red.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22BS, Variety PCGS# 37674, Base PCGS# 92496, Greysheet# 310749)
