Bid Information
For your convenience, the bid information on this page automatically refreshes with the most up to date data so you don't have to refresh/reload this page.Minimum Next Bid
Bid increments determine the lowest amount you may bid on a particular lot. Normally, bids must be at least one bidding increment over the current bid. However, podium, fax, phone and mail bidders submit bids at various times without knowing the current bid and must be on-increment or at a half increment (called a cut bid). Any podium, fax, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full or half increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full or half increment. However, for Internet bids, these increments only apply to the current bid. Internet bids greater than one increment over the current bid can be any whole dollar amount. It is possible under several circumstances for winning bids to be between increments, sometimes only $1 above the previous increment.Number of Bidders
This number represents the number of individual bidders prior to the close of Internet bidding on each lot. An individual who bids more than once is still counted only once. During the live session, only the winning bidder is included in this number, although detailed records are kept of all forms of bids.Status
Reserve (If Any) Not Posted Yet:
Although many lots will not get reserves, this signifies that we have not yet posted any reserves to this entire auction. Reserves are usually posted approximately 3 days prior to the closing for Internet-only auctions, and approximately 7 days prior to the live session for Signature auctions.
Consignor Has Not Yet Submitted a Reserve:
Although the consignor's agreement allows a reserve on this lot, the deadline for submitting such a reserve has elapsed. If consignor submits a reserve post-deadline and the item fails to meet that reserve, we may charge the consignor a higher reserve fee.
No Reserve:
This lot is being sold without a consignor reserve.
(Note: By law, consignors may still bid under certain conditions, but they are responsible for paying the full Buyer's Premium and Seller's Commission if they do.)
Reserve Not Met:
A reserve has been posted on this lot, but no bids have met the reserve. The current bid has been set to the reserve amount, and the next bid will meet the reserve.
Reserve Met:
Reserves have been posted for this auction, and there is a reserve on this lot that has already been met.
Minimum Bid:
Lots bearing bidding estimates shall open at Auctioneer's discretion (approximately 25% to 60% of the low estimate).

Description:
Sensational 1909-S Lincoln, MS67 Red
1909-S 1C MS67 Red PCGS. Bright reddish-golden hues dominate the surfaces of this incredible first-year San Francisco Lincoln, each side being aglow with rich, satiny luster. Close examination yields a few well scattered, microscopic carbon flecks and a short paper-thin blemish above the Y in LIBERTY, the only appreciable difference between the coin now and when it left the dies. The strike is incredibly bold, even for this normally well struck issue.The 1909-S Lincoln is an important key-date issue among cents of the year, but it falls in third place behind the 1909-S Indian cent and the 1909-S VDB Lincoln cent. For that reason, it has historically been underrated or ignored. In the past two decades, with the advent of grading services and especially grading service population reports, many hidden rarities are now being recognized. The 1909-S Lincoln is a perfect example. In full Red preservation, PCGS has certified 425 as MS64, 405 as MS65, 117 as MS66, and just four pieces as MS67. The same service has graded many more 1909-S VDB cents: 865 as MS64, 736 as MS65, 164 as MS66, and nine pieces as MS67. The comparison tells us that the 1909-S cent is much more elusive with full mint red color than is the 1909-S V.D.B.
While the mintage of 1,825,000 was nearly four times greater, the most devoted specialist in the popular series of Lincoln cents knows that even its widely known counterpart with designer's initials on the reverse is not as elusive as the 1909-S Lincoln in Superb Red condition. In MS67 Red, the PCGS population remains unchanged from when we last offered this specimen early in 2006. Population: 4 in 67, 0 finer (9/08).
From our CSNS sale (4/2006), lot 607.
