Lincoln Cents
1911-S 1C MS66 Red PCGS. Just over 4 million Lincoln cents were struck at the San Francisco Mint in 1911 and few high-quality specimens were saved by contemporary numismatists. The 1911-S is a key issue in all grades today, but circulated examples can be located with a little patience, as they were culled from circulation by eager collectors, beginning in the 1930s. At the MS66 grade level, with original red surfaces, the 1911-S is very rare, and no examples have been certified in finer grades (7/17).
The present coin is a spectacular Premium Gem, with impeccably preserved copper-red surfaces that radiate vibrant mint luster from both sides. The design elements are sharply detailed throughout and overall eye appeal is terrific. Population: 16 in 66 Red, 0 finer (7/17).
