Lot Description

If the PCGS/CAC MS-66+ RD offered above proves elusive, the present offering provides another opportunity for the quality-conscious collector to acquire an example of one of the most beloved issues in the Lincoln cent series. And this is a gorgeous upper end Gem Uncirculated coin. Both sides retain full mint color with subtle reddish-rose and pale pink highlights to otherwise light orange surfaces. The strike is full, as befits the issue, with razor sharp detail to even the most intricate design elements. Expertly preserved and visually stunning, this is a highly desirable example of a key date issue that is ranked No. 27 in the fifth edition (2019) of the popular reference <em>100 Greatest U.S Coins</em> by Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth.
