Vivid Red Gem 1914-D Cent

1914-D 1C MS65 Red PCGS. The 1914-D boasts an original mintage of only 1.193 million pieces, which plays a major part in its place among the elite Lincoln cent issues. Although the 1909-S V.D.B. and the 1931-S have even smaller productions, both issues were hoarded to some degree, while the 1914-D was not. Surviving Mint State examples, of which there are predictably few, tend to be faded to some degree. This Gem example, however, has bright, even cherry-red color that glistens as the coin is rotated beneath a light. Well struck with no obvious abrasions and just the slightest flecks of carbon present. PCGS has graded just three finer Red examples (8/10).
