Lincoln Cents
1927-S 1C MS65 Red PCGS. David Lange, in The Complete Guide to Lincoln Cents, says that "nearly all cents of this issue were poorly made. Worn, eroded dies were the rule, and early die state examples are exceedingly rare." He further quotes a study in The Coin Dealer Newsletter: "Finding a 1927-S to fit a top quality set will not be a simple matter. The strike is often horrible and the color is often dreary." The present example example is decently struck, though showing minor softness in the hair over Lincoln's ear, the beard, and a few letters of STATES and AMERICA. Lincoln's portrait is a pale olive-gold, nicely set off by red-orange fields. The reverse is copper-orange throughout. A few trivial marks are not distracting. Population: 19 in 65 Red, 0 finer (6/17).
Ex: Central States Signature (Heritage, 5/2004), lot 5714; Pittsburgh Signature (Heritage, 8/2004), lot 5342; Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 6/2010), lot 147.
