A Second 1955/55 Double Die Cent, MS 65 Red Preservation

1955/55 1C Doubled Die MS 65 Red PCGS. What can we say, when it rains, it pours. This coin is the second fully lustrous, Gem quality representative of this popular 20th century error cent that we are offering in this sale. Like the Mullen specimen in the previous lot, this coin is alive with glowing orange-red luster. There are also tinges of pink color intermingled throughout, and the surfaces radiate at all angles with the virtual absence of distracting abrasions and carbon spots. A bold strike allows full appreciation of the widely spaced obverse doubling on the letters in LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST and the digits in the date. This coin is encapsulated in an old PCGS holder, and the surfaces are premium quality for the assigned grade.
