- Exceptional quality for this perennially popular key date Lincoln cent issue and among the finest graded at PCGS. Brilliantly lustrous fiery rose-red surfaces with a sharply executed strike. From a mintage of just 866,000 pieces, the lowest for any cent issue from the Great Depression era. With much of the mintage remaining in government vaults until the mid 1930s, circulated examples have always been scarce. When the 1931-S was finally released in quantity beginning in 1934, the limited mintage immediately attracted the attention of contemporary numismatists, who set aside large numbers of Mint State coins. Such pieces continue to enjoy strong collector demand, although we caution bidders that the typical survivor grades no finer than MS-64 RD. Among the finest certified, this premium quality Gem is seemingly earmarked for inclusion in a highly regarded Lincoln cent collection.
