1917-S Lincoln Cent, MS65+ Red
Among the Finer-Known Red Examples

1917-S 1C MS65+ Red PCGS. This San Francisco issue is incredibly difficult to find in high-grade Red condition. We have seen only a small number of Gem Red 1917-S Lincoln cents in the past. Just three coins are Plus-graded at PCGS with one piece reported finer. These coins represent the Condition Census for Red 1917-S cents. The present coin displays satisfyingly sharp definition and rich, textured orange-gold and reddish mint luster. Neither side has bothersome abrasions and there are no stand-out spots. Population: 26 in 65 (3 in 65+) Red, 1 finer (5/22).(Registry values: N2998)
