Lot 1248
1972. Doubled die obverse. PCGS graded MS-66 Red. CAC Approved. Housed in an Old Green Holder. Only 20,000 struck. In 1972 workers at the Philadelphia Mint created this famous error coin. While making a die that was used to mint Lincoln cents, a misalignment occurred when impressing a hub into a working die, causing the die with Lincoln's portrait to have doubled letters and date. All pieces were released before the error was discovered. It has distinct doubling on the word LIBERTY, the word "IN" appears to have doubled I, TRUST is also noticeably doubled, and the date shows two distinct impressions. Pop 507; 25 finer, 5 in 66+, 19 in 67, 1 in 68. (PCGS # 2950) Estimated Value $600 - 650
