Losbeschreibung

A delightful Satin Proof, the finely texture surfaces are just right for the premium Gem grade assigned by PCGS. Both sides retain medium orange mint color that is more pronounced on the obverse, while rich olive and golden-brown patina is bolder on the reverse. Fully struck throughout, as befits the method of manufacture, and with a lovely appearance. Among early Proof Lincoln cents, the 1913 is encountered with the greatest frequency in high grades. This is not to say that Gem survivors are plentiful in an absolute sense. Far from it. In fact, no Proof Lincoln cent from the 1909 to 1916 era is common in the finest grades. Many of these early Proofs have been cleaned over the years or otherwise handled in a manner in which all of the original color has been lost. A particularly well cared for survivor, this outstanding Gem represents a significant find and an important bidding opportunity for astute Lincoln cent specialists.
