Elusive Red Gem 1919-S Cent

1919-S 1C MS65 Red PCGS. Ex: Jack Lee. The 1919-S cent saw a dramatic spike in production compared to West Coast cent issues of previous years, though paradoxically, that did not translate into large numbers of Gem survivors. Coins with fully Red surfaces are particularly elusive, and at the MS65 level, such pieces are condition rarities. This attractive example offers smooth fields and generally well-defined devices. Varying degrees of copper-orange and peach patina grace each side, with deeper shadings concentrated at the right reverse margin. Highly attractive and important. Population: 21 in 65 Red, 1 finer (4/09).(Registry values: N2998)
