Lot Description

1936 Lincoln Cent. FS-102. Doubled Die Obverse, Type II. MS-66+ RD (PCGS). This gorgeous premium quality example is frosty in finish with blended medium rose and pale pink colors. Doubling for this variety is most readily evident on the letters in the word LIBERTY and the digits in the date. This obverse die received its first impression from a hub with the letter R in LIBERTY broken, its second impression coming from a perfect R hub. Scarce in all Mint State grades, the 1936 FS-102 is rare as a full Red Gem, as here. PCGS Population: just 3; 0 finer in this category. PCGS# 92650. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
