Proof Lincoln Cents
1916 1C PR64 Red and Brown NGC. The final matte proof date has the lowest mintage of the series: just 1,050 pieces. An intricately struck near-Gem with a fine-grained but radiant matte surface. Sea-green centers are framed by orange-red margins. Minor carbon, mostly near the left wheat ear, denies an even finer third-party assessment. Housed in a pre-hologram holder.
From The Martin Peterson Collection.
