1914-D Cent, MS66 Red
A Premier Key to the Series
None Numerically Finer

1914-D 1C MS66 Red PCGS. Ex: Bender Collection. The 1914-D is one of the premier keys to the Lincoln cent series, boasting one of the lowest mintages in the set with less than 1.2 million coins struck. In fact, this early Denver Mint issue is considerably more challenging in high grade than the more famous 1909-S VDB. Most Mint State survivors show up in MS63 and MS64 in the Brown and Red and Brown categories. Fully Red coins are much scarcer. Only a dozen are graded MS66 Red at PCGS and NGC combined, with none numerically finer.

This strongly struck Premium Gem features bold detail on Lincoln's hair and beard. The legends on both sides and the reverse wheat stalks are similarly razor-sharp. Satiny luster glows from finely textured copper-orange surfaces. Only a few microscopic carbon spots are noted. Population: 8 in 66 (1 in 66+) Red, 0 finer (7/22).
