Dramatic die doubling on the obverse makes this piece one of the most sought-after 20th century U.S. coins, not just within the Lincoln cent series, but in the entire US Numismatics. When this variety was struck, Mint officials were aware of this error, but they allowed it to enter circulation rather than destroy all the cents necessary to eradicate it. The current Choice Red example is boldly struck and displays softly frosted copper-gold mint luster and exceptional details.
Rare and highly original near-Gem!
Among the 100 Greatest U.S. Coins.
