Description
1961-D Lincoln Cent, AU58
Struck on a 1960-D Small Date Cent
Rare Year-to-Year Cent on a Cent Overstrike
1961-D 1C Lincoln Cent -- Struck on 1960-D Small Date Cent --
AU58 PCGS. The 1960 date and mintmark are surprisingly clear,
and are located near the right border of Lincoln's vest from the
second strike. The second strike is rotated counterclockwise
relative to the first strike. Cents struck on a struck cent are
rare, since a struck cent is wider than a cent planchet, and
theoretically should not fit within cent dies. Adding to collector
interest, the strikes bear two different dates, and the 1960-D
Small Cent is scarce, at least in comparison with the 1960-D Large
Date. This is a problem-free chocolate-brown example.From The L. William Libbert Collection.
