Only One Finer at PCGS
1914-D Lincoln Cent. MS-66 RD (PCGS).
Bathed in handsome medium rose luster, this premium quality Gem is a remarkable survivor of the key date 1914-D Lincoln cent. The surfaces are temptingly close to pristine with an overall matte-like, highly appealing texture. Fully struck and very attractive, this coin is definitely a highlight of the Lincoln cent offerings in this sale. A scattering of original patina in the right obverse field contributes additional character.
Although the 1909-S V.D.B. and 1931-S were produced in smaller numbers, the 1914-D is the rarest Lincoln cent issue (as opposed to variety or error) in Mint State. Despite having a relatively limited mintage (1.1 million pieces) in its own right, the 1914-D seems to have slipped quietly into circulation, with most coins remaining there until worn out or lost. Relatively few Mint State examples have survived, and most of those extant seem to have survived purely as a matter of chance. The present Gem is among the very finest known, with just 1 coin ranked slightly finer by PCGS at MS-66+ RD.
PCGS Population: 6; just 1 finer at MS-66+ RD.
