Extraordinary 1912-D Lincoln Cent, MS66 Red
Ex: Mershon, Walsh

1912-D 1C MS66 Red PCGS. Ex: Joshua and Ally Walsh. An extraordinarily smooth cherry-red representative that offers excellent sharpness throughout. The fields have a pleasing fine-grained texture that is reminiscent of the matte proof coinage from this era. Even close inspection with a magnifier fails to reveal any carbon spotting or mentionable marks or abrasions, although a faint violet-colored toning streak appears in the right obverse field. Only a handful of 1912-D Lincoln cents have been certified at this lofty grade level. Population: 13 in 66 Red, 0 finer (4/10).
