1927-S 1C, RD MS (PCGS#2584)

June 2026 Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

Lot Description: This significant CAC-approved survivor of a conditionally challenging San Francisco Mint issue displays superior technical quality and outstanding eye appeal. Both sides are fully lustrous and dressed in vivid medium rose mint color. The strike is remarkable for an issue that is typically offered with poor definition in one or more areas. Here, on the other hand, we note bold to sharp definition throughout the design. Expertly preserved, as well, an overall smooth frosty texture rounds out an impressive list of physical attributes.<p>Although recognized as a semi-key date issue as early as the 1940s, by the time the inevitable hoarding of 1927-S cents occurred, the vast majority of examples set aside by numismatists were in low grades through Fine. In VF, EF and AU this issue remains scarce by the standards of the type, while in Mint State the 1927-S is very scarce to rare depending on quality. A distinct cut above the typical softly struck and/or lackluster Uncirculated example, and rare thus, this impressive premium near-Gem is worthy of the strongest bids, and destined for inclusion in one of the finest Lincoln cent collections currently being formed.
