Description

1919 1C MS68 Red PCGS. As all U.S. coin collectors know, the 1919-P is one of the most common coins from the early years of Lincoln Cent production. More than 392 million pieces were struck and Uncirculated coins are common. But how many exist today in MS68 Red? Only 14 with one finer (12/08). The surfaces on this piece are bright and unmellowed with full red color throughout gradually changing to soft copper-gold at the border regions. Fully struck also, there are no visible abrasions on either side of this magnificent coin. Encapsulated in a green label holder.
