1914-D Lincoln Cent, MS65 Red
Key to the Series

1914-D 1C MS65 Red NGC. Unlike a number of other key dates in the Lincoln cent series, the 1914-D was not saved in quantity. While first-year enthusiasm preserved numerous 1909-S VDB cents, the 1931-S was anticipated as a low-mintage year, and the 1955 Doubled Die was tucked away as a curiosity even by non-numismatists, the 1914-D quietly slipped into circulation, and by the time collectors realized just how elusive examples were, the vast majority of the issue was circulated to some degree.

By contrast, this vibrant Red Gem is a beautifully preserved survivor. The slightly hazy surfaces are predominantly copper-orange with elements of pale lilac and rose. Pleasingly detailed and surprisingly mark-free. A touch of streakiness at the lower reverse is of little concern. Census: 21 in 65 Red, 5 finer (6/17).
