Description
Exceptional PR66 Red 1910 Lincoln Cent
1910 1C PR66 Red PCGS. The matte proof cents from 1910 are a challenging issue to locate in both high grade and with full red mint luster still intact. Proof cents were sold as part of minor, silver, and gold proof sets, but apparently they were not distributed individually. The total number of proofs struck according to the National Archives was 4,083 pieces, much higher than previously believed. Nevertheless, only a handful exist today in full Red because the Mint distributed the coins in sulfur-laden tissue paper that quickly toned the surfaces. This bright, sparkling example has a yellowish tinge to the red. Each side shows pronounced granularity, indicative of an earlier striking. The details are intricately brought up on each side, and there are no mentionable or noticeable contact marks. Population: 20 in 66 Red, 3 finer (12/09).(Registry values: N1793)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22KT, PCGS# 3308, Greysheet# 2478)
