1913 Lincoln Cent, MS67 Red
Ex: Jack Lee

1913 1C MS67 Red PCGS. Ex: Lee-Bender. Although the mintage exceeded 76 million coins, PCGS has only graded 17 submissions as MS67 Red, with none finer (7/22). Just one survivor exists for every 4.4 million examples of the original mintage. When pieces such as this Superb Gem appear in the marketplace, advanced specialists know its significance.

The strike is bold, apparently as usual, although there is some conflicting information in David W. Lange's reference. He states under rarity that "all grades of Mint State are available. Fully red gems are in more limited supply and when found, these are seldom fully struck." Then in the Comments section he further writes: "Like most Philadelphia-Mint cents, 1913-P is almost always well struck."

The present coin is an absolutely amazing Superb Gem with brilliant golden-orange surfaces that exhibit intense mint frost and exceptional luster. The lower inside edge of the left wheat ear has a small dark toning spot. A few minuscule abrasions are visible but hardly important.
