1969-S 1C Doubled Die Obverse, RD MS (PCGS#2923)

The Regency Auction 47

详细说明: One of the RAREST Doubled Die varieties in all of 20th century numismatics, the 69-S is a very storied modern rarity. While the actual mintage is unknown, fewer than GENUINE examples are known today. Because counterfeit 1969-S doubled dies were discovered before the genuine ones were, it is thought that the Secret Service destroyed genuine examples, making the issue even rarer! Because the S-mintmark was punched into the working dies after the hubbing process was done, all the other lettering in the obverse legend was doubled. The present coin is fully red and lustrous. The doubling is bold and visible to the naked eye. Some scattered marks and ticks are noted, along with two reverse carbon spots. These are taken into account with PCGS's assigned grade and CAC agrees. A classic of 20th century numismatics, this is a coin that is highly coveted by the Lincoln cent specialist. PCGS 7, NGC 1, CAC 3. The last one sold in January 2020 for $40,800. The CAC CPG value is $49,200 and the PCGS Price Guide is $50,000. Just a half dozen are graded finer in the RED category and the last CAC coin graded higher realized a record $126,000 (the ESM MS64 RD CAC in March 2018). This CHOICE coin will invite strong bidding from the specialist. Good luck. Cert. Number 42119467 PCGS # 2923.00
