Impressive 1925-S Lincoln, MS65 Red

1925-S 1C MS65 Red PCGS. The San Francisco Mint was more concerned about quantity than about quality. As a result, Gem examples are extremely difficult to locate. This Gem is housed in a green-label PCGS holder, and it is one of just 10 similar pieces that PCGS has certified in more than 22 years of grading. They have never graded a finer example (12/07). In our December 2008 Houston Sale, we offered another of those 10 Gem specimens, a coin that realized $27,600. This piece has wonderful light orange surfaces with satiny luster. A few faint spots are visible, mostly limited to the reverse. The strike is excellent for an example of this issue.(Registry values: N4719)
