Description
1916 Lincoln Cent, PR66 Red
None Finer at PCGS
1916 1C PR66 Red PCGS Secure. The short-lived matte proof
Lincoln cent series came to an end in 1916. Only 600 proofs were
struck and very few were saved in Gem or finer condition. To put
together a set, the path of least resistance would be to seek out
colorful Red and Brown coins, but the owner of this specimen did
not do that. With an unerring eye for quality and originality he
only pursued full Red matte proofs for his collection. And from
1916, there are precious few of those that remain. PCGS has only
certified five pieces PR66 Red, and none are finer (3/17). This
example displays rich cherry-red color on the obverse with a
contrasting bright orange-red reverse. Other than the original
color and high grade, another aspect that immediately strikes the
viewer is the absolutely complete strike definition over each side.
Few matte proof Lincoln cents can match the quality and eye appeal
of this Registry grade example. (Registry values: N7079)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22KZ, PCGS# 3326, Greysheet# 2496)
