Description
1915-S Cent, MS65+ Red
Among the Six Finest at CAC
1915-S 1C MS65+ Red PCGS. CAC. The Duckor Collection cents
have focused first and foremost on quality and eye appeal, and
while many of the pieces from this collection are Condition Census
examples, that is really a secondary consideration when one studies
the individual attributes of each coin. The 1915-S cent is an
example of quality being chosen over numeric grade. There are a
dozen MS66 Red coins reported at PCGS and NGC combined, but the
Duckor Collection chooses instead one of the two MS65+ Red coins at
PCGS. The reasoning is obvious when one realizes that this MS65+
coin is one of just three Gem Reds with CAC endorsement. We have
handled three different CAC Gem Red coins in the past, at least one
of which has since been upgraded to MS66 Red. Thus, the Duckor
coin, with its Plus designation and CAC combination, is for all
intents and purposes in a class by itself among Gem Red 1915-S
cents. Students of this series may even go so far as to consider
the Duckor coin comparable to some of the known MS66 Red pieces --
it is certainly of comparable eye appeal, and the luster is
brighter and more radiant than the mellow reddish-auburn hues that
grace some Premium Gems.This example showcases razor-sharp definition from an early die state, with copper-orange surfaces and satiny luster. A few tiny flecks appear under a loupe, but they are insignificant compared to the spotting seen on many other Gem-level 1915-S cents. The Duckor coin is truly exceptional. Population: 35 in 65 (2 in 65+) Red, 10 finer. CAC: 11% of a total 28 submissions for this issue/grade passed. 3 in 65, 3 finer (2/20).(Registry values: N2998)
