Lot Description

1924-D Lincoln Cent. MS-64+ RD (PCGS). CAC. This is an exceptionally well struck and carefully preserved example of the challenging 1924-D cent. Both sides exhibit dominant deep rose color, the peripheries further adorned with crescents of reddish-orange. The texture is satiny with full mint luster and only a few trivial blemishes precluding an even higher numeric grade. Bold to sharp striking detail throughout points to the use of relatively fresh dies in the striking of this coin -- a rare attribute in a survivor of this often poorly produced issue. A semi-key date Lincoln cent in lower grades, the 1924-D has a limited mintage of 2,520,000 pieces. In Mint State this is a full key date issue, especially with the superior striking quality and surface preservation offered here. One of numerous highlights among our small cent offerings in this sale, and sure to see spirited bidding among advanced Lincoln cent enthusiasts. PCGS Population: 5: 45 finer in this category (MS-66 RD finest). PCGS# 2554. NGC ID: 22CD. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
