Outstanding 1919 Lincoln Cent, MS68 Red
Ex: Brenda John Collection

1919 1C MS68 Red PCGS. The 1919 Philadelphia Mint Lincoln issue, the first postwar cents, had an unusually high mintage of 392 million pieces. This date was frequently found in circulation in the 1950s and 1960s. Of course, pieces that qualify as MS68 by today's standards are seldom encountered. This splendid coin makes an excellent high grade example of this date. The surfaces display fiery red color with glints of jade, and the striking details are complete throughout. The only mentionable flaws are a couple of microflecks in the field above the date. An outstanding early Lincoln cent, certified in a green-label holder. Population: 14 in 68 Red, 1 finer (8/10).
