Lot Description

1916 Lincoln Cent. Proof-65 BN (PCGS). This richly original specimen exhibits bold golden-brown and deep rose patina to a base of lighter mint orange color. Satiny in texture, as befits the issue, with a fully executed strike. The early Proof Lincoln cent series ends with the 1916, a key date issue with just 1,050 pieces produced and an extant population on the order of only 500 or so coins. We urge interested bidders to pursue this high quality offering with intensity since most survivors are in Choice or lower grades. PCGS Population: 18; 11 finer in this category (Proof-67 BN finest). PCGS# 3324. NGC ID: 22KZ. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
