The most significant feature of this specimen is a major rotated die error, specifically a 90-degree rotation of the reverse, as noted on the secondary label. This San Francisco minted proof provides a unique opportunity to own a high-grade copper cent that combines modern proof perfection with a dramatic and sought-after mechanical error.
2002-S Copper 1C PCGS PR69RD DCAM Rotated Die Mint Error Lincoln Memorial Cent
Condition: This specimen is professionally graded and encapsulated by PCGS as PR69RD DCAM, indicating a near-perfect proof strike with full original red luster and deep cameo contrast between the frosted devices and mirror-like fields. The coin features a significant mint error consisting of a 90-degree rotated reverse die, a rare occurrence for modern proof coinage. The copper surfaces remain exceptionally preserved within the protective holder. This piece was struck at the San Francisco Mint and represents a high-grade example of the Lincoln Memorial cent series, which ran from 1959 to 2008. The Deep Cameo designation confirms a sharp, high-contrast strike intended for collectors, made even more distinctive by the mechanical error during the minting process.
