1999 'Dual-Date' Cent, MS63 Red and Brown
Struck on a Struck 1996 Cent
Clear Two-Sided Undertype

1999 1C Lincoln Cent -- Double Struck on 1996 Cent -- MS63 Red and Brown PCGS. An extremely rare "dual-date" cent, created by a struck coin of one date being overstruck with the same denomination of a different date. In this care, the two strikings occurred three years apart. The equation for this error was simple: a normal 1996 cent was dropped into the planchet hopper in 1999 and struck again. However, the resulting phenomenon is quite exceptional. The entire undertype of the 1996 strike is visible on both sides of this coin, including the entire 1996 date, which appears at the top of Lincoln's brow, overlapping WE. Satiny luster yields mostly copper-red color, with amber overtones that earn the Red and Brown grade.
