Lot Description

Simply put, this is one of the best produced, most attractive 1914-S Lincoln cents that we have ever offered. Smooth satin to softly frosted surfaces are lightly toned in iridescent golden-olive and salmon pink, both sides retaining plenty of original deep orange color. The strike is full in virtually all areas, and the appearance is expectably pristine for the assigned grade. Although often overshadowed by the 1914-D, the 1914-S is a scarce semi-key date Lincoln cent in its own right that can be challenging to locate in any Mint State grade. At the present level of preservation, this issue is undeniably rare and represented by only two Red and Brown coins at PCGS. When offered in our May 2019 Baltimore Auction, the present example was the only PCGS/CAC MS-66 RB certified. It is an outstanding condition rarity that is eagerly awaiting inclusion in another top-flight Lincoln cent collection.
