Description
One of the Finest Known 1917 Doubled Die Cents, MS 61 Brown ANACS
1917 1C Doubled Die MS 61 Brown ANACS. Die One. Under a loupe, obverse doubling is evident on the letters in the word TRUST and, to a lesser extent, the digits in the date. A widely publicized mint error, the 1917 Doubled Die is listed on page 97 of the 2001 Guide Book, page 229 of Breen's Encyclopedia, and page 49 of Fivaz and Stanton's Cherrypicker's Guide to Rare Die Varieties. Although obviously popular today, this error went unnoticed until 1977, by which time most examples had acquired heavy wear from circulation.This Mint State specimen certainly ranks among the finest known examples of this error cent. The surfaces are predominantly chocolate-brown in color with a few swirls of lighter patina on the reverse. Both sides are free of sizeable abrasions, but a fingerprint on the obverse rules out a higher grade. Nevertheless, this important example is worthy of a carefully considered bid.
From the Patrick J. Mullen Collection.
