1923-S Cent, MS65 Red
Unsurpassed Condition

1923-S 1C MS65 Red PCGS. Ex: Jerald L. Martin Collection. The 1923-S is a difficult issue to find in such a splendid state of preservation. Examples are seldom encountered with full red color, and although slightly subdued, this Gem certainly merits that designation. Strike softness tends to plague the date, but this example is much better defined than usually seen. The reverse wheat lines show full separation, and Lincoln's beard lacks only minor detail. A few small carbon flecks occur on the obverse, and there are a mere handful of tiny, microscopic contact marks on the two sides combined. A faint toning spot directly above the U in UNITED has no effect on the assigned grade. Population: 21 in 65 (1 in 65+) Red, 0 finer (2/23).
