Description du lot

As with many early mintmarked Lincoln cents, this issue was widely hoarded by collectors during the 1950s and 1960s. By that time, of course, the vast majority of examples available to numismatists were well worn coins that had seen heavy commercial use. Mint State survivors are scarce in the context of this series, a fact that is due at least in part to a relatively limited mintage of 4,026,000 pieces. In premium Gem preservation, this handsome lilac-brown and pale orange example would do justice to an advanced Lincoln cent collection.
