Formidable Conditional Rarity 1913-S Cent MS66 Red PCGS

1913-S 1C MS66 Red PCGS. A well known semi-key date from the 1910s, the 1913-S was produced in not overly generous numbers (6.1 million pieces) for a 20th century U.S. Cent. In addition to indifferent luster, many Mint State survivors are limited in grade by inadequate striking quality, with worn dies playing a role. Lest one despair of ever finding a high grade representative of this conditionally challenging issue, we call attention to the present example. The strike has a hint of softness on the upper left corner of the O in ONE and on portions of the AM in AMERICA, but the definition is sharp overall, and well above average for the issue. The straw-gold obverse is remarkably undisturbed by contact, and the reverse is predominantly peach in hue with glimpses of stone-gray color on the upper portion of that side. A singular carbon fleck above the N in CENT, and a solitary tick to the right of the T in CENT, can be used to pedigree this desirable premium Gem. Population: 2 in 66, 0 finer (10/05).
