Lincoln Cents
1925-S 1C MS65 Red PCGS. The 1925-S Lincoln cent is a great rarity in MS65 Red and is unknown finer. PCGS reports a dozen coins in this grade and NGC three (5/17). In fact, the date is rare in MS65 regardless of color designation. The last Gem Red coin to be sold by any major auction house was a PCGS coin that we offered in lot 144 of our December 2009 Houston Signature sale, which realized $18,400. The present example is comparable in eye appeal and technical quality. The reverse is well-struck, but the obverse is soft with significant die erosion. Both sides offer softly frosted copper-red luster with no carbon spotting.
