Lot Description

1971 Lincoln Cent. FS-101. Doubled Die Obverse. MS-66 RD (PCGS). Splendid Gem full Red quality for this conditionally challenging DDO variety. Vivid rose-orange luster throughout, the surfaces revealing warmer olive undertones at indirect light angles. Smooth and satiny in texture with razor sharp definition throughout. Struck from a slightly misaligned obverse die, as are all known examples of the 1971 FS-101 cent. This is one of the finest examples known to PCGS, and would do justice to any advanced Lincoln cent collection. Provenance: From the ESM Collection. PCGS Population: 8; just 2 finer in this category (both MS-66+ RD). PCGS# 38009. NGC ID: 22GP. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
