Description
1955 Doubled Die Obverse Cent, MS64 Red
Choice Original Luster
1955 1C Doubled Die Obverse, FS-101, MS64 Red PCGS. The 1955
doubled die obverse is by far the most dramatic and highly
sought-after mint error in the Lincoln cent series. When the error
was noticed at the Mint, some examples were recovered from the
hoppers and destroyed, but as many 24,000 pieces, per a formal
inquiry by Bowers, were allowed to escape into circulation. Likely
only a few thousand examples survive, mostly in circulated
condition or within the Brown color category of Mint State. Full
Red examples are genuinely elusive in any grade, and are rare finer
than MS64. This Choice example is well-struck and devoid of major
abrasions. The satiny surfaces showcase original coppery-red luster
with a few trivial specks hardly of distraction. The eye appeal is
excellent. PCGS reports 18 numerically finer full Red examples
(6/15).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22FG, Variety PCGS# 37912, Base PCGS# 2827, Greysheet# 310754)
