Lot Description

1914-D Lincoln Cent. MS-65 BN (NGC). This gorgeous example exhibits steel-blue highlights to otherwise warmly patinated, rose-brown surfaces. Fully struck with a smooth satin texture, there is much to recommend this coin to the advanced Lincoln cent enthusiast. The fabled 1914-D is a key date issue in this series with a relatively limited mintage of 1,193,000 pieces. Scarcer in Mint State than the lower mintage 1909-S, the 1914-D was saved in far fewer numbers because it did not benefit from first year status. The present Gem is a highlight of the Lincoln cent offerings in this sale, and it is sure to see spirited bidding at auction. PCGS# 2471. NGC ID: 22BH. Click here for certification details from NGC.
