Lot Description

1928-S Lincoln Cent. MS-65+ RD (PCGS). A sharply struck golden-rose example with smooth surfaces and strong visual appeal. 17,266,000 cents were struck in San Francisco in 1928, and this issue is readily available in Uncirculated condition. However, poor striking quality and surface blemishes confine most of these survivors to the lower Mint State grades, and Gems examples like the preset are remarkably rare. In full Gem Red condition, the 1928-S is actually among the scarcest San Francisco Mint issues in the early Lincoln series, confirming the significance of this offering for the astute collector. PCGS Population: 17; 5 finer in this category (all MS-66 RD). PCGS# 2593. NGC ID: 22CT. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
