Rare 1916-S Cent, MS65 Red

1916-S 1C MS65 Red PCGS. The 1916-S is not usually thought of as a rare issue, perhaps because of its greater mintage than the 1911-S through 1915-S coins. But at the Gem level it becomes an outright rarity, and it is basically unavailable any finer. Only a single example has been certified by either service above this grade (and that by NGC), and only about two dozen examples have achieved this grade. The fiery copper-orange surfaces exhibit well impressed design features, and exude originality. Both sides are essentially abrasion-free; a linear mark on Lincoln's forehead helps to pedigree this piece. Population: 22 in 65 Red, 0 finer (1/09).
