1926-S 1C, RB MS (PCGS#2574)

May 2019 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction

Description du lot: 1926-S Lincoln Cent. MS-65 RB (PCGS). A sharply struck and pleasingly original example of this eagerly sought San Francisco Mint issue. Lightly toned in iridescent golden-brown, both sides also reveal plenty of light pinkish-red color as the surfaces rotate under a light. The strike is bold to sharp throughout and far better executed than typically seen in survivors of this generally poorly produced issue. The 1926-S is a low mintage affair by the standards of this series with just 4,550,000 pieces produced. It has long been regarded a semi to full key date issue in all grades, and the vast majority of collectors have had to settle for a worn example either due to availability or cost. Very scarce in all Mint State grades, in full Gem, as here, the 1926-S is a noteworthy condition rarity that is always greeted with excitement when offered through auction.
