Lot Description

1971 Lincoln Cent. FS-101. Doubled Die Obverse. MS-66+ RD (PCGS). Splendid full Red Gem quality for this conditionally challenging DDO variety. Exceptionally vivid reddish-rose color adorns both sides, the reverse also with a splash of powder blue over the lower left of the Lincoln Memorial. 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 is eagerly awaiting inclusion in a top ranked Lincoln cent variety collection on the Set Registry. PCGS Population: 3; 0 finer. PCGS# 38009.
