Bought a big lot of mixed Lincolns. On top were two 1971 proof sets, and this was in one of them. Well, it's still there, as I am going to leave it there and sell it off as is. It has a spot over the R of LIBERTY as well as a few other fly specs so won't grade higher than the one in my collection thus not going to pull it out and send it in. But certainly one of the trophy doubled dies in the series. 1971-S proof Lincoln Memorial cent doubled die - DDO-001, FS-101

Excellent variety. Nice of them to "throw" that one in the lot. Congrats. Are you thinking this one might be a Pf64 red?

Thanks folks for all the great comments! And Pete even with the small spots I think this would be a shoe in for PF65 and at least a chance at a 66. It's a really nice coin. It's also why I really should slab it and then sell it since it will likely grade higher than a RAW buyer thinks it will. But I have enough grading fees to pay right now and it goes up as-is tonight.
