Description
Impeccable 1913 Lincoln Cent, MS67 Red
1913 1C MS67 Red PCGS. Although the mintage exceeded 76 million coins, PCGS has only graded four submissions as MS67 Red, with none finer. Just one survivor exists for every 19 million examples of the original mintage. When pieces such as this Superb Gem appear in the market place, advanced specialists know that the opportunity should not be passed by.The strike is bold, apparently as usual, although there is some conflicting information in David W. Lange's reference. He states under rarity that "all grades of Mint State are available. Fully red gems are in more limited supply and when found, these are seldom fully struck." Then in the Comments section he further writes: "Like most Philadelphia-Mint cents, 1913-P is almost always well struck."
An absolutely amazing Superb Gem with brilliant golden-orange surfaces that exhibit extremely intense mint frost and exceptional luster. The lower inside edge of the left wheat ear has a small dark toning spot. A few minuscule abrasions are visible, but they are hardly important.
This incredible Superb Gem will easily please the advanced Lincoln cent specialist, and will nicely upgrade nearly every Registry Set currently recorded at the PCGS website. The present appearance is only the fourth time that we have offered an MS67, and the three previous appearances represent just one or two other pieces. Population: 4 in 67, 0 finer (10/08).
