Lot Description

Frosty autumn-orange surfaces exhibit an uncommon amount of bold detail in a survivor of this well known strike rarity among 1920s Lincoln cents. Solid Gem quality throughout, and worthy of inclusion in an advanced collection of this popular and widely collected series. The 1926-D cent is relatively common overall but scarce in higher Mint State grades. Strike and surface quality are the two compromising factors that make this issue so conditionally rare, and less than 200 coins are thought to survive in Gem condition and above from a mintage of slightly more than 28 million pieces.
