Lot Description

1913-D Lincoln Cent. MS-66 RD (PCGS). This pretty Gem exhibits vivid mint color in pale rose-red. Softly frosted surfaces are expectably smooth for the assigned grade with universally bold to sharp striking detail. The 1913-D has a respectable mintage of 15,804,000 pieces, and it is among the more available Denver Mint early Lincoln cents. While Mint State coins can be found, advanced Lincoln cent specialists will be disappointed by the prevalence of poorly struck pieces among the survivors. Indeed, softness of strike is one of the two major factors explaining the rarity of this issue in Gem Mint State; the other is originality of the surfaces. With above average detail and attractive color, this expertly preserved example ranks among the finer certified at PCGS. PCGS# 2464. NGC ID: 22BE. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
