Lot Description

1913 Lincoln Cent. Proof-66+ RD (PCGS). CAC. Gold Shield Holder. We are pleased to be offering this simply outstanding example of Satin Proof Lincoln cent coinage. A fully struck and expertly preserved specimen, both sides exhibit vivid reddish-orange color to silky smooth surfaces. The Philadelphia Mint produced 2,983 Proof cents in 1913, survivors of which are among the most plentiful from the era in today's market. All early Proof Lincoln cents are scarce when compared to the later date Proofs in this series, however, and as a premium quality Gem the present example is decidedly rare from a condition standpoint. Nearly in the Condition Census for the date, in fact, and worthy of the strongest bids. PCGS Population: 3; 7 finer in this category (all Proof-67 RD). PCGS# 3317. NGC ID: 22KW.
