1917 Lincoln Cent, MS67 Red
Among the Finest

1917 1C MS67 Red PCGS. CAC. In general, the finest Registry Set collections of Lincoln cents will contain mostly MS65 Red and MS66 Red (if they exist) examples of the early mintmarked issues, with some issues unknown at the higher level. For the Philadelphia Mint issues, however, those finest collections can feature the occasional MS67 Red or even MS68 Red coin. Numismatists outside the knowledgeable Lincoln cent cadres, when shown such pieces, will marvel that such outstanding quality can survive essentially unchanged over decades.

This remarkable Superb Gem Red coin will certainly inspire such admiration, offering as it does impeccable surface preservation over almond-tan surfaces that cede to cherry-red near the rims on the upper obverse and lower reverse. The strike is equally impeccable, with frosty luster and a near-total absence of abrasions (save for a single visible tick on the reverse below the P of PLURIBUS) rounding out this noteworthy package. Population: 18 in 67 (2 in 67+) Red, 2 finer. CAC: 3 in 67, 0 finer (5/17).
