Lot Description

1955 Lincoln Cent. FS-101. Doubled Die Obverse. MS-63 RB (PCGS). Scarce and desirable Red and Brown preservation for this perennially popular Lincoln cent variety. Frosty surfaces retain an uncommon amount of original, vivid rose-orange mint color. Both sides are also lightly toned in iridescent golden-brown with faint powder blue undertones flashing into view as the surfaces dip into a light. Smartly impressed with razor sharp to full striking detail throughout. An expertly produced and uncommonly well preserved example of the fabled 1955 DDO variety, we expect strong competition for this Choice Mint State coin from advanced Lincoln cent enthusiasts. PCGS# 37911. NGC ID: 22FG. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
