1923-S Cent, MS65 Red
Top-Grade CAC Registry Coin

1923-S 1C MS65 Red PCGS. CAC. Ex: Bender Collection. The 1923-S is a challenging issue in the Red color category, most often seen in MS64 but occasionally in MS63. Gem Red pieces are notably rare. We have seen several such coins over the years, but only a single piece with CAC endorsement has appeared in our auction prior to the Bender coin. That example realized $66,000 in our June 2018 Long Beach Signature, and $45,600 in our April 2020 Central States Signature. The Bender coin is fresh to the market, showing satiny copper-orange and golden hues, with well-struck design elements and remarkably little evidence of die fatigue. A few microscopic flecks are discernible on each side, serving as pedigree markers. One of only three coins in this top numeric Red grade with CAC endorsement. Population: 17 in 65 (1 in 65+) Red, 0 finer. CAC: 3 in 65, 0 finer (7/22).
