1955 Doubled Die Obverse 1 Cent. NGC Uncirculated Details, Altered Color. The most heralded of all doubled dies with a broad spread of all the lettering and numbering on the obverse. The color, unlike the usual copper-tinged specimen, is largely golden with light orange, blue, and purple tinges of color on both sides. While unusual, these colors do occur naturally from time to time. On this particular instance, NGC was skeptical and aired on the side of caution. Worthy of close inspection.
