1926-S Lincoln Cent, MS64+ Red
Key to the Series at the Next Grade Level

1926-S 1C MS64+ Red PCGS. CAC. Ex: Whispering Pines. Casual collectors of the Lincoln cent series might be astonished to learn that if this coin were one grade point finer, it would likely sell for a price well into the six-figure range. PCGS has certified only four examples of the 1926-S in MS65 Red. One of them, in an early appearance, traded in our 2006 FUN Signature, lot 3097, for $149,500. More recently, Gem Red pieces have sold in our auctions in 2019 and 2020 for $90,000 and $102,000, respectively. We can say confidently that this near-Gem Red piece will cost less, although it is nearly of comparable quality. The surfaces are moderate pinkish-orange with a decent strike and no spots, but the obverse shows a few small hits that disqualify this piece from the Gem grade. Population: 78 in 64 (3 in 64+) Red, 4 finer. CAC: 7 in 64, 0 finer (11/24).
