1955 Lincoln Cent. FS-101. Doubled Die Obverse--Struck on a 13% Rolled Thin Planchet--AU-53 (PCGS).

This is certainly one of the most intriguing and desirable examples of this classic Lincoln cent variety that we have ever offered. The planchet was too thin -- a Mint error, as noted by PCGS -- with the result that there was not enough metal to fill all of the recesses of the dies. Even so, softness is largely confined to the upper left obverse and lower left reverse borders. Most other areas are sharp, and the doubling is clear and readily appreciable. Attractively toned in medium rose-brown, this coin would serve as a highlight in an advanced Lincoln cent or specialized Mint error collection.

PCGS# 2825. NGC ID: 22FG.

Estimate: $ 1500
