1924-S Cent, MS65 Red
Ex: Mershon-Bender
Tied for Finest Known

1924-S 1C MS65 Red PCGS. CAC. Ex: Bender-Whispering Pines. The 1924-S is another of the significant strike rarities from this decade originating at the branch mint in California. From a reduced mintage of just under 11.7 million pieces, Mint State coins of any grade are difficult to come by and well-struck, original Red examples are "scarce as hen's teeth." Offered here is one of the few Gem Red 1924-S cents yet certified. The surfaces exhibit beautiful sunset-orange accents and are uncommonly bold for the issue. A few flecks of carbon on Lincoln's shoulder only verify the originality of this high quality representative. Based on population figures, unimprovable quality for one of the most challenging Lincoln issues in the entire series. Population: 10 in 65 Red, 0 finer. CAC: 3 in 65, 0 finer (11/24).
