Lincoln Cents
1983 1C Doubled Die Reverse, FS-801 (036), MS68 Red NGC. All of the reverse lettering is boldly doubled on this variety. Both sides show extensive bubbles from imperfect copper plating on the zinc planchet. A seemingly pristine pumpkin-orange Superb Gem. Well struck aside from a hint of weakness on STATES. Census: 10 in 68 Red, 0 finer (11/16).
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 5-6/2012), lot 3235, where it brought $6,900.
