Lot Description

1923-S Lincoln Cent. MS-65 RB (NGC). Offered is an exceptionally well produced, carefully preserved example of a conditionally challenging Lincoln cent. Although David W. Lange (The Complete Guide to Lincoln Cents, 1996) states, "Mushy coins struck from worn dies are the rule for 1923-S," this coin is sharply defined from the rims to the centers. Ample pinkish-orange luster remains on surfaces that are also lightly toned in pale olive-brown with streaks of light rose here and there. This attractive Gem will nicely represent this semi-key date issue. Provenance: From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. Acquired from Jack H. Beymer, April 2010; via T & J Collectables. NGC Census: 20; 0 finer in this category. PCGS# 2547. Click here for certification details from NGC.
