Lot Description

1936 Lincoln Cent. FS-101. Doubled Die Obverse. MS-64 RD (PCGS). CAC. Mottled deep orange and pale gold colors greet the viewer from both sides of this lustrous, satiny example. Fully struck and smooth in hand, there is not much separating this premium quality coin from a full Gem grade. This is the first and boldest of the three major Doubled Die Obverse varieties of the 1936 Lincoln cent. FS-101 is also the rarest of this trio in Mint State, a fact that underscores the significance of this offering for the advanced collector. Provenance: From the ESM Collection. PCGS Population: 10; 12 finer in this category (MS-67 RD finest). PCGS# 37750. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
