Lot Description

Exceptionally well produced for an issue that is known for the widespread use of worn dies, this premium quality Gem is boldly to sharply defined throughout. Satiny and smooth, the surfaces are of further desirability given the full pinkish-rose luster that the coin retains. Although Mint State survivors of this high mintage (41,730,000 pieces) issue are plentiful in an absolute sense, most are confined to lower grades due to poor striking quality, subdued luster and/or numerous detracting blemishes. This is one of the finest examples available to today's discerning Lincoln cent collectors, especially those competing for top ranking on the PCGS Set Registry.
