1912-D Cent, MS66+ Red
Tied for Finest in Red Condition

1912-D 1C MS66+ Red PCGS. CAC. Ex: Bender Collection. This Denver issue is often available in Red condition, even as fine as the Gem level, but Premium Gem pieces are scarce in this color classification. The Bender coin is one of just nine Plus-designated Red Premium Gems at PCGS, and no numerically finer pieces are known. It is also one of 13 coins in this top grade with CAC endorsement, affirming its status among the finest-known examples of the 1912-D Lincoln cent. Rich copper-orange surfaces display satiny luster and well-defined design elements, with no obtrusive carbon spotting. The margins show some metal flow from die wear, as is typical of this issue. Population: 59 in 66 (9 in 66+) Red, 0 finer. CAC: 13 in 66, 0 finer (7/22).
