1909-S/S Lincoln Cent. FS-1502. Repunched Mintmark, S/Horizontal S. MS-66+ RD (PCGS). CAC.
Beautiful light rose surfaces are fully frosted in finish with razor sharp striking detail and virtually pristine surfaces. One of the most popular varieties in this widely collected small cent series, the 1909-S FS-1502 is a repunched mintmark variety on which the first S was entered into the die at 90 degrees from normal with the second S entered properly. Many examples have been discovered by numismatists over the years, and Mint State coins are relatively obtainable in today's market. Most collectors, however, will have to settle for a lower grade example because the 1909-S/Horizontal S is typically offered no finer than MS-65 RD. Near the top of the Condition Census for the variety, the upper end Gem offered here is sure to have no difficulty finding its way into an advanced Lincoln cent collection.
