1923-S Cent, MS65 Red
Old Green Label Holder
Among the Finest Red Coins Known

1923-S 1C MS65 Red PCGS. The 1923-S is among the most challenging dates in the Lincoln cent series to acquire in Red grades, and most of the coins seen are designated MS63 or MS64. In Gem Red condition, this San Francisco issue is decidedly rare, whereas its Philadelphia counterpart is common in the same grade. Offered here is a satiny coin with smooth copper-pink surfaces. Abrasions are trivial at best, although some strike softness -- characteristic of the issue -- appears at the O in ONE. Scattered flecks are not unexpected. Housed in an old green label holder. Population: 17 in 65 (1 in 65+) Red, 0 finer (11/19).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22CB, PCGS# 2548, Greysheet# 1882)

Weight: 3.11 grams

Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin and Zinc
