Comments:  Only three specimens of this variety are known to exist making it nearly impossible to place a value on the variety.  One specimen in MS64RD condition did sell for $150,000.  The variety has been deemed genuine by officials of the U.S. Mint.  A detailed history of the variety can be found on page 361 of The Authoritative Reference on Lincoln Cents - Second Edition by John A. Wexler and Kevin Flynn.
