Description
1954 Lincoln Cent, MS67 Red
Tied for Finest Known
1954 1C MS67 Red PCGS. Only four 1954 Lincoln cents have
been rated as Superb Gems by PCGS with full Red color (2/14); a
very low number when one considers that nearly 72 million pieces
were produced. None are graded finer at either service. The
exceptional quality of this coin is confirmed by a review of
comments made by David Lange in his 2005 reference The Complete
Guide to Lincoln Cents: "1954-P cents are noted for
their generally poor quality. Most are dark and were coined from
severely overused dies. ... The reasons for both the low mintage
and the drastically inferior quality of this issue remain
unknown."Razor-sharp strike definition and rich original mint-red luster support the MS67 Red grade assessment, along with clean, nearly pristine surfaces and vibrant luster. A great coin with tremendous eye appeal.
