1970-S Doubled Die, Large Date Cent, MS65 Red
FS-101, A Very Rare Variety

1970-S 1C Large Date, Doubled Die Obverse, FS-101, MS65 Red NGC. This very rare issue is listed in the Guide Book of United States Coins. The 2009 Cherrypickers' Guide states: "To this point, fewer examples are known than the previous listing, the 1969-S. However, this variety has not received the publicity as the previous, thus the lower values." To underscore the rarity of this variety, we have no comparable coins to list for price history under the new PCGS variety number.

Doubling is seen on the date but is most significant on the left sides of LIBERTY and on IN GOD WE TRUST. Glowing red luster emanates from both sides of this Gem, each of which exhibits sharply struck design elements. Impeccably preserved surfaces are free of mentionable marks or spotting. A great find for the Lincoln cent collector.
