Lincoln Cents
1912-S 1C MS66 Red PCGS. CAC. The 1912-S is a conditionally elusive issue, rare in MS66 regardless of color designation and unknown finer. Red examples are scarce in all grades, and there is some artificial inflation of the population reports in MS64 and MS65 due to resubmissions. PCGS and NGC combined have seen only 13 1912-S cents in MS66, and of these, just six are designated Red. The present coin is not only tied for the finest known, it is the only coin in this top grade that boasts a CAC endorsement (3/17).
The strike is sharper than usual, and each side displays luminous copper-orange luster with no distracting abrasions. A few faint grayish flecks on the reverse are within the confines of the grade. The importance of this coin to the Registry collector cannot be overstated. Population: 5 in 66 Red, 0 finer. CAC: 1 in 66, 0 finer (3/17).
