Elusive Gem Red 1916-S Cent

1916-S 1C MS65 Red PCGS. The 1916-S Lincoln continues a string of difficult S-mint issues in Gem Red condition that begins with the 1911-S and continues through at least the 1927-S. This sharply struck early Lincoln cent displays bold definition on Lincoln's beard, hair, and the motto, areas that are frequently softly impressed. The surfaces are free of distracting spots or surface abrasions, and a strong loupe is needed to find the minute signs of contact. A short planchet flaw appears below Lincoln's temple, and a speck at the top of EN of CENT. To date PCGS has certified a mere 22 pieces in MS65 Red, with none finer (4/10).
Ex: Dallas Signature (12/04), lot 5267, which brought $12,650; CSNS Signature (5/05), lot 5554, which realized $16,100; CSNS Signature (4/06), which garnered $10,350.
