Lot Description

1928-S Lincoln Cent. MS-65 RB (PCGS). CAC. A gorgeous example, both sides exhibit a bright blend of golden-orange and salmon pink colors. Minimally toned with an otherwise sharp strike that comes up just a bit soft over the upper left reverse. 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 present are remarkably rare. PCGS Population: 20; 4 finer in this category (MS-66 RB finest). PCGS# 2592. NGC ID: 22CT. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
