ERROR/VARIETY 1960 D/D LARGE DATE Lincoln FS-502 NGC AU 58 BROWN

Description: This description refers to a collectible 1960 U.S. Lincoln penny with specific details about its rarity and condition. Here’s a breakdown of what each term means: 1960: The year the coin was minted. D/D: This refers to a "repunched mintmark" (RPM) variety. The "D" mintmark, indicating it was minted in Denver, was struck twice, creating a visible doubling effect on the "D." This variety, known as D/D, is of interest to collectors. Large Date: In 1960, the Lincoln cent was produced with both "Large Date" and "Small Date" varieties. The Large Date version has numerals that appear bigger than the Small Date, particularly noticeable in the "6" and "0" in "1960." FS-502: This is the designation for a specific variety of the coin in the Fivaz-Stanton (FS) catalog, a widely used reference for die varieties. FS-502 identifies a particular repunched mintmark. NGC: This is the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation, a leading third-party coin grading service. Coins graded by NGC are authenticated, graded, and encapsulated. AU 58: This is the grade given to the coin by NGC. AU stands for About Uncirculated, with a 58 out of 70 on the grading scale. AU 58 means the coin is very close to uncirculated, showing minimal wear, mainly on the high points of the design. Brown (BN): This refers to the color and surface condition of the copper coin. Over time, copper coins naturally oxidize and develop a brownish tone. Coins are often classified as "Brown" (BN), "Red-Brown" (RB), or "Red" (RD) depending on their coloration. "Brown" indicates a fully toned surface without much original red color remaining. In summary, this coin is a rare 1960 Denver-minted Lincoln cent with a notable D/D repunched mintmark and is the Large Date variety. It's graded as About Uncirculated (AU) 58 and has a brown tone, which is common for older copper coins. Collectors value this type of coin for its unique characteristics and condition.
