June 2023 U.S. Coins Auction

Lot Description: Unrivalled, Proof 1958 Lincoln Cent 1958 Lincoln Cent. Proof-69 Deep Cameo (PCGS). An awe-inspiring Ultra Gem that approaches numismatic perfection. Vivid reddish-orange surfaces are as bright, fresh and smooth at the day the coin emerged from the dies. Those dies imparted not only razor sharp striking detail, but strong cameo contrast between reflective fields and satiny motifs. Expertly produced, carefully preserved, and sure to impress even the most discerning numismatist. The final Proof Lincoln cent of the Wheat Ears Reverse design type, the 1958 is a popular issue with numismatists. The mintage is generous for the era at 875,652 pieces, and examples are readily obtainable in most grades. David W. Lange (1996), however, opines that "Deep cameos, however, remain very rare." As the single finest specimen seen by PCGS in the DCAM category, the significance of this offering for advanced type collectors and Lincoln cent Set Registry participants can hardly be overstated.
