1956 Lincoln Cent, MS68 Red
The Sole Finest at PCGS
First Appearance at Auction in This Grade

1956 1C MS68 Red PCGS. Ex: Whispering Pines. Being plentiful in lower grades due to having been saved in roll quantity at the time of issue, the 1956 Lincoln is surprisingly scarce in MS67 Red, giving collectors a challenge when acquiring such a piece for Registry Sets. The Whispering Pines coin, however, is on a level all its own. It is the sole finest 1956 cent at PCGS, comparable perhaps only to a lone NGC coin in the same grade. No example in MS68 Red has ever appeared at auction, making this piece, as with many other coins in the Whispering Pines Registry Set, a breaker of new ground and previously unattainable opportunity.

Frosty luster is pristine, virtually flawless, immaculate. It runs deep copper-orange around the borders and lighter golden throughout the interiors. A sharp strike visits the devices, and overall eye appeal is outstanding. Population: 1 in 68 Red, 0 finer (11/24).(Registry values: N1793)
