Lot Description

1914-D Lincoln Cent. MS-65+ RB (PCGS). CAC. An excellent specimen of this classic early Lincoln cent rarity. While it is relatively common as a "key date" in low grades, high-grade specimens with good color are quite scarce. For some reason, even high-grade Mint State 1914-D cents are often subdued red, as seen here. However, a great deal of original red still shows through the mellowed fields on this specimen. Sharply struck with good definition throughout the design elements. Just two Red Brown coins are graded finer by PCGS. PCGS# 2472. NGC ID: 22BH. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
