1924-S Lincoln Cent, MS65 Red
CAC-Endorsed Registry Set Contender

1924-S 1C MS65 Red PCGS. CAC. Although the 1924-S Lincoln cent claims a mintage of more than 11.6 million pieces, few high-quality Mint State examples were saved by contemporary collectors. It is likely that the 1924-S was not released into circulation until 1925, which might have caused collectors to miss it when they updated their collections in 1924.

The issue is one of the most challenging of the decade to acquire in high grade. The finest-known survivors are 11 MS65 Red examples (10 at PCGS and one at NGC) (8/20). In the last 15 years, we have seen only three of these coins come to auction, including the present one. This 1924-S is from the famous Duckor Collection and is a delightful Gem, with impeccably preserved original red-orange surfaces and satiny mint luster. The design elements are well-detailed, with just a touch of softness on the portrait. Out of nine Gem Red coins submitted to CAC for consideration, the Duckor coin is one of only three to receive the green label award. We expect intense competition from Registry collectors when this lot is called. A PCGS CoinFacts plate coin. Population: 10 in 65 Red, 0 finer. CAC: 3 in 65, 0 finer (8/20).
