Conditionally Rare 1916 Cent, MS67 Red PCGS

1916 1C MS67 Red PCGS. With a mintage of more than 131 million pieces, it is hard to imagine calling any 1916 Cent "rare." However, in this grade, it is seldom encountered and is truly deserving of the "rare" label. Only 27 other pieces have been so graded with none finer at either service (9/04). It is, in fact, impossible to imagine a finer coin than this one. The surfaces are bright and lustrous with original orange-red coloration throughout. The devices show pinpoint detailing and the surfaces overall display the granular, matte-like finish usually seen on copper coins from this decade. Population: 26 in 67, 0 finer (9/04).(#2488) (Registry values: N991)
