Description

Double Struck, Cupped 1999 Cent, MS66 Red NGC

1999 1C Lincoln Cent--Double Struck, Second Strike Cupped--MS66 Red NGC. The first strike was normal, however, the Cent then clung to the obverse die and was struck a second time. The second strike forced part of the coin to wrap around the obverse die. The design on the reverse is distorted since it is from the initial strike, and the second strike on this side was against a newly fed, blank planchet (this second piece is not included in the lot). The shape of this mint error is too irregular to reside within an NGC holder, however, NGC has certified it as MS66 Red. Both the NGC insert and an NGC photo certificate accompanies this interesting error.
