Lot Description

This is the second FINEST graded at PCGS of this bold Doubled Die variety. The type 1 Doubled Die, FS-101, is the boldest of the three doubled obverse varieties struck in 1936. The doubling is very clear and evident at the date, LIBERTY, and IN GOD WE TRUST. Listed in the Red Book, this popular variety has gained a large following among Lincoln cent collectors, and it is included with the 1917, 1955, 1969-S and others as part of the mainstream series. This marvelous coin is bested by just a single MS67 RD. This coin is PREMIUM QUALITY defined! Offering a bold, fiery RED luster that is as vivid as the day the coin fell from the dies. A tiny tick or two are seen with the aid of a strong glass, but essentially devoid of all distractions on both sides. Well struck, the reverse shows a fuller definition than the obverse, but that side also displays nicely rendered details. The eye appeal is very pleasing and a coin worthy of the FINEST of sets. PCGS 8, NGC 0, CAC 5. This is the ONLY MS66+ RD and there is just a single MS67 RD finer. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $14,500. In MS66 RD, the CAC CPG value is $11,200 so this 66+ should bring more. Good luck! Cert. Number 38303771 PCGS # 82650.00
