Prominent Doubled Die Obverse 1970-S Large Date Cent
MS63 Red

1970-S 1C Doubled Die MS63 Red PCGS. Large Date. FS-029. DDO 1-O-I. The doubling is boldest toward the left sides of LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST, but it is visible throughout those legends, as well as the 0 in the date. Both sides show pleasing brick-red color. A scrape is noted between the bust of Lincoln and the date. These, along with some light flecks, account for the grade. The Cherrypickers' Guide calls this "definitely one of the rarest of all Lincoln cent varieties" and lists an MS63 price of $6,000. Population: 1 in 63 Red, 20 finer (6/08).(Registry values: P1)

Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 92939, Base PCGS# 2939, GSID# 2378)
