Description:

Impressive MS67 Red 1924 Cent

1924 1C MS67 Red PCGS. The 1924 Lincoln cent, as with most other issues in the series, is one that rewards the patient collector who seeks high quality. Its overall availability, even in comparatively high Mint State grades, makes the temptation to settle for a lesser example strong; various commentators have noted this availability, including Q. David Bowers, who described it as "common in all grades, including Mint State," and David Lange, who notes that "... gems should not be considered rare." Indeed, at the MS65 Red level, there are sufficient extant survivors to sate current demand. The collector who wishes to break that barrier, however, will experience a longer and more costly hunt. The end of that hunt, however, will prove to be that much more rewarding.
The surfaces of this remarkable Superb Gem are bright and primarily copper-orange, though paler copper-gold is noted at the portrait and lower reverse. Strongly lustrous with hints of frostiness throughout. The strike is slightly above-average for the date, with minor softness on Lincoln's hair and beard. On the reverse, the durham wheat ears are sharp and crisp, though a shadowy outline of Lincoln from repeated die clashing echoes through the center. All lettering is clear despite the die clashing on the reverse. At this lofty level, populations have not changed for at least three years; the combined certified population shows just five MS67 Red examples, one graded by NGC and four by PCGS, with none numerically finer (10/08).
From The Jack Lee Estate Lincoln Cent Registry Set.(Registry values: N991) (#2551)

We changed the way we image slabbed coins on February 1, 2010, in order to get a more accurate image of the coin. To get the sharper details and more accurate colors we have focused the lighting on the actual coin, which has caused the top of the holders to appear darker and milky. Please disregard the color of the holders when examining the images.
