1983 1 Cent Lincoln Double Die NGC MS65RD - 100 Greatest

Second Impressions Count -- Most Dramatic Doubled Die Reverse in Lincoln Series is Rated #34 by Jeff Garrett!

According to numismatist and author Jeff Garrett, the 1983 Doubled Die Reverse Lincoln cent is the most dramatic of any doubled-die reverse (DDR) in the entire Lincoln cent series, with prominent, well-separated doubling throughout all of the reverse legends. It's also very difficult to come by -- in 1984, U.S. Mint Assistant Director for Technology George Hunter stated that only about 5,000 entered circulation before the error was discovered and the die destroyed. Now, imagine how many of those 5,000 were ignored, wearing down over time, and you'll see why Garrett listed it as #34 in his book, 100 Greatest U.S. Modern Coins, 2nd Edition.
