Description
Charming 1955 Doubled Die Obverse
Lincoln Cent, MS65 Red and Brown
1955 1C Doubled Die Obverse MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. FS-101,
formerly FS-021.8. The 1955 Doubled Die is justly regarded as one
of the most popular 20th century numismatic error coins. Unlike
many obscure errors that require a loupe, a Cherrypickers'
Guide, and CONECA for identification, the 1955 Doubled Die
looks startlingly wrong, even to the unaided eye. Gem
examples are seldom seen, regardless of color designation. Most
specimens of the issue either show circulation wear, are afflicted
with carbon or unattractive color, or show central die cracks from
improperly tempered die steel. This charming Gem shows splendid
bluish-purple coloration on the obverse along with some muted red
around the devices, and the reverse is reddish-purple. This piece
in MS65 Red and Brown is one of only five so graded at PCGS, with
none finer (3/09).(Registry values: N7079)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22FG, PCGS# 2826, GSID# 2166)
