1929 Cent, MS67 Red
Extraordinary Quality, Full Color, Carbon-Free

1929 1C MS67 Red PCGS. Advanced Lincoln cent collectors know certain early dates, especially P-mints, are "common"--dates such as 1926, 1919, and 1929. But the word common has to have quotes around it because truly Superb Gem examples such as this one are anything but common, especially when one weighs the number of Lincoln cent collectors against the tiny percentage of such coins available. Only 43 other pieces have been so graded by PCGS, and none have been certified finer by either of the major services (1/10). This is an amazing coin. The surfaces retain the original, unmellowed yellow-orange-red the piece had in 1929. We can locate no carbon on either side, and the surfaces are essentially free from any post-striking impairments. Simply amazing quality.(Registry values: N991)
