1916 5C Doubled Die Obverse MS (PCGS#3931)

The Regency Auction 40

详细说明: A totally original, crusty AU example of this important rarity. The doubled features are bold and completely visible to the naked eye. Not only is the doubling noticeable at the date and feathers, but also the profile shows bold doubling. Rarer than the other key varieties in the series, the 1918/7-D and the very famous 1937-D 3 Legged. Survival estimates range from 200-400 in all grades, with most being in the VF range. Nicely defined details show light wear, evidence that it was discovered before it was able to get heavily worn and pulled from circulation. Unlike many that have been conserved in the past, this piece has bold tan-russet, and dove toning. A few insignificant marks are noted for accuracy, but none are serious enough to negatively affect the eye appeal. A very rare date in a highly collectible grade. PCGS 21, NGC 19. The most recent NGC-graded example sold in February 2016, which realized $32,313. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $35,000 and it jumps to $45,000 in AU58. Incredibly RARE in Mint State, this nice AU should fit the bill for anyone looking to fill the hole in their set. Cert. Number 2134024-001 PCGS # 3931
