Description du lot

Extraordinary quality for this challenging Roaring Twenties cent issue. Bright and frosty, the lustrous surfaces are enhanced by full mint color in vivid pinkish-rose. The strike is bold to sharp throughout, there are no detracting blemishes, and the eye appeal is outstanding.<p>17,266,000 cents were struck in San Francisco in 1928, and this issue is readily available in Uncirculated condition. However, poor strike quality and surface blemishes confine most of these survivors to the lower Mint State grades, and Gem examples like that offered here are remarkably rare. In full Gem Red condition, the 1928-S is actually among the scarcest San Francisco Mint issues in the early Lincoln series, confirming the significance of this offering for the astute collector.
