Jaime Hernandez

There are several 1971 Doubled Dies this year, so make sure you check your 1971 Lincoln Cents. The Type 1 seems to be the most popular and commands a strong premium, especially in uncirculated condition. Collectors, should have no trouble finding a 1971-P Lincoln Cent, even in uncirculated condition. Only in MS67 or higher are they scarce.
