1972 Doubled Die Obverse. PCGS MS-64 RB. 1972 Doubled Die Obverse. PCGS MS-64 RB.
Lot Title: 1972 Doubled Die Obverse. PCGS MS-64 RB.
Description: It should be blatantly obvious to anyone who collects Lincoln Cents that this coin is likely undergraded by at least a point, and for that matter, may qualify for full RED status upon resubmission. Fiery, lustrous surfaces depart from original mint-red color only across Lincoln’s portrait and to either side of the Lincoln Memorial on the reverse, and even then, it is displaced by exceedingly attractive mulberry iridescence. This example is a no-brainer for anyone assembling a fabulous set of later-date cents, and it is assured of pleasing even the most fastidious Memorial reverse cent collector.
Low Estimate: $400.00

506The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$285.00
1972 doubled-die Lincoln cent. MS-60, obverse spots.
Natural color is nearly fully red, with a mere smattering of greyish-brown patina across each side. Although the overall appearance is that of a coin grading Choice BU, a spot of corrosion rests...
507The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$270.00
1972 doubled-die Lincoln cent. ANACS MS-60 details/recolored.
Presumably dipped to a pinkish color at one time, an attempt seems to have been made to restore some original patina, as the borders of the obverse abruptly revert to reddish-bronze tones. The...
508The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$280.00
1972 doubled-die Lincoln cent. ANACS MS-63 RB.
Subtle reflectivity imparts a slight hint of prooflike character to this handsome, choice 1972 doubled-die. Minor ticks across each side account for the technical grade.
550The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$290.00
1972 doubled-die Lincoln cent, ANACS MS-63 RB.
Luscious burgundy tone enriches this slightly prooflike, choice doubled-die Lincoln cent. A shallow scrape is cleverly hidden in Lincoln's beard, while the balance of the coin is only occasionally...
551The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$305.00
1972 doubled-die Lincoln cent MS-63 RD.
The appearance of a finer grade seems to be warranted at first glance, as the outstanding luster and robust, original color have great eye appeal. A handling mark above the date and another on...
552The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$290.00
1972 doubled-die Lincoln cent MS-60/obverse spots.
Nearly red, with a slight overlay of greyish tint and a few trivial hairlines. Of more importance is a spot of corrosion resting next to the obverse rim at 8:00.
268The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$725.00
Pair of certified 1972 Doubled Die Obverse Lincoln Memorial cents....
Really, both of these 1972 "doubled die obverse" Lincoln cents should grade MS-64 RD, but NGC chose to apply an "RB" designation to one coin, perhaps because of the number of carbon spots that pepper...
269The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$400.00
1972 doubled-die Lincoln cent, PCGS MS-64 RD.
A single toned spot at 8:00 on the obverse rim is all that refutes an MS-65 grade, as otherwise, this coin has all the appeal of a "gem". Brilliant red, as if it had just dropped out of a mint roll.
471The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$450.00
1972 and 1983 doubled-die Lincoln cents, certified by ANACS
Both of these coins are correctly attributed to "die pair 1", which is the premium die pairing for each respective error. The 1972 "doubled-die obverse" grades MS-62 RD, with the grade determined...
472The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$340.00
1972 doubled-die Lincoln cent, ANACS MS-63 RD
Doused in original mint red color and very lustrous. ANACS attributes this coin as "die pair 1", which is easily the most desirable of all the doubled-die obverse dies for 1972.
1071The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$330.00
1972 Double Die Obverse. ANACS MS-64 Red.
Doubling of the date, "LIBERTY," and the motto can easily be viewed, just as you would expect with a 1972 Double Die Obverse Cent. The surfaces are fiery Red, but they display some dark toning flecks...
1072The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$475.00
1972 DDO FS-033.3 Die 1 ANACS MS-65 RD.
Strong doubling is visible to the naked eye on the obverse. There is one small toning fleck on the obverse, but to be seen almost requires a glass. This is a key date Memorial Cent that is a must...
401The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$625.00
1972 Double Die Obverse PCGS MS-66 RD.
The 1972 D.D.O. Lincoln Cent is the second strongest of the available Double Dies. This coin is an early die state example. The separation is clear and distinct. The split serif at the far right...

1972 DDO FS-033.3 DIE 1 ANACS MS-66 RD.
