Description
Remarkable Superb Gem Red 1910-S Lincoln
1910-S 1C MS67 Red NGC. The 1910-S is, for a mintmarked early Lincoln issue, relatively available in Mint State. David Lange, in his Complete Guide to Lincoln Cents, writes that "original rolls were known as late as the 1970s, and small hoards of red or red-brown coins were being marketed even in the 1980s. True gems are easy to find, and they appear with more frequency than for other S-mint Lincoln cents before 1929."Lange's assertions notwithstanding, specimens in the lofty grade of MS67 Red, such as the present coin, are anything but common. Indeed, NGC and PCGS together have graded a mere four examples in MS67 Red, and none finer (4/10). Copper-orange and yellow-gold luster adorn the impeccably preserved surfaces, and the strike is remarkably powerful overall, showing only weakness on a couple of the letters on the lower reverse legend.
