1955 1C Doubled Die Obverse, RD MS (PCGS#2827)

The Regency Auction 48

详细说明: What a sensational MS64+ RD example of this popular and important 20th century Doubled Die variety. An essential coin for the collector, a classic KEY date in the series. Approximately 20,000 examples were struck when a working die and working hub were struck together, creating the dramatic doubling at LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, and the date. Many of the doubled dies were placed into the cellophane wrapping of cigarette packs in vending machines. At the time, a pack cost 23 cents, so vending machine operators would put the 2 cent change in the pack. Because of this, most survivors remain in Mint State grades, but ones with full, original RED coloration remain quite difficult to find! The present coin has distinct claims to an even loftier grade, no prmoises. Brilliant, glowing red lustrous surfaces glow vividly in the satiny smooth surfaces. While a couple of microscopic toning flecks and a tiny contact mark or two can be seen with the aid of strong glass, none of these detract from the outstanding eye appeal. PCGS 72, NGC 42, CAC 35. There are 13 in MS64+ RD and just 22 have ever graded finer at PCGS. The last three examples sold in the $22,325 to $33,600 range with the PCGS Price Guide value being $30,000. Only 21 are in MS65 RD and just a single MS65+ RD is graded at the top of the Pop at PCGS. This beautiful coin is worthy of a fantastic Lincoln cent Registry Set. Cert. Number 34569657 PCGS # 2827
