1955 Doubled Die Cent
Sharp MS64+ Red
Rare Borderline Gem, Vibrant Surfaces
1955 1C Doubled Die Obverse, FS-101, MS64+ Red PCGS. CAC.
The reverse die is misaligned slightly counterclockwise, as are all
genuine 1955 doubled die obverse cents. The issue is neither the
rarest nor the most dramatic of Mint gaffes, yet it is perhaps the
most famous and popular, rivaled only by the 1937-D Three-Legged
Buffalo nickel for its significance in terms of public awareness.
Among Lincoln cent collectors, the opportunity to own a borderline
Gem doubled die in full Red with CAC endorsement is a rare
occurrence.The surfaces of this attractive example display vibrant orange luster with deep orange-red accents. A few scattered, light marks require magnification for viewing and define the assigned grade, yet the eye appeal is tremendous and carbon flecks are minimal. A sharp strike covers both sides. Population: 6 in 64+ Red, 20 finer. CAC: 23 in 64, 1 finer (10/16).
