1914-D Lincoln Cent, MS65 Red
Sought-After Key Issue

1914-D 1C MS65 Red PCGS. The 1914-D Lincoln cent claims a low mintage of 1.1 million pieces. Unfortunately, the issue was largely overlooked by contemporary collectors and few high-quality examples were saved at the time of issue. The 1914-D became highly sought-after in the 1930s, when the advent of coin albums made its elusive nature well-known. By then, most examples had circulated extensively and few would grade better than Fine-Very Fine by today's standards.

The present coin is a delightful Gem, with original red surfaces that show no mentionable flaws. Vibrant mint luster radiates from both sides and three microscopic specks of carbon show on the reverse. The design elements are sharply detailed throughout and the eye appeal is terrific. Population: 72 in 65 (8 in 65+) Red, 7 finer (6/18).(Registry values: N4719)
