Elusive 1917-S Cent, MS64 Red

1917-S 1C MS64 Red PCGS. The uninitiated in the Lincoln cent series sometimes think the difficult mintmarked issues end around 1915-S. Series aficionados know better: The difficult coins extend well into the late teens and twenties. The 1917-S is elusive in full Red Mint State condition. This near-Gem offers a bold strike over sumptuous almond-tan surfaces that show few distractions. A small die crack appears on the top of the right wheat ear. Population: 58 in 64 Red, 17 finer (3/09).(Registry values: N1793)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22BU, PCGS# 2503, Greysheet# 1849)

Weight: 3.11 grams

Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin and Zinc
