- 1867 Two-Cent Piece. FS-101. Doubled Die Obverse. MS-62 BN (PCGS).
Rare and significant Mint State preservation for this highly regarded Mint blunder in the brief two-cent series. Blushes of original, albeit faded orange mint color are evident here and there around the peripheries, although both sides are predominantly toned in light steel-brown. The strike is soft at the upper right obverse and in the corresponding area at the base of the wreath on the reverse, although the words IN GOD and TRUST are bold enough to allow ready appreciation of the most prominent doubling that characterizes this variety. Satiny surfaces are generally smooth in hand and, were it not for the aforementioned softness of detail, PCGS may have returned a higher numeric grade.
The 1867 FS-101 is easily the most pronounced Doubled Die in the two-cent series of 1864 to 1873, and it has long been popular with series specialists and variety enthusiasts alike. Well worn examples are plentiful enough in numismatic circles to almost be considered common, but in EF and AU this variety is scarce, while in Mint State it is a major rarity. The fleeting nature of this offering for advanced collectors should not be disregarded.
PCGS Population: 7; 22 finer in this category (MS-65 BN finest).
