1911 Cent, PR66+ Red
Tied for Finest at PCGS and CAC

1911 1C PR66+ Red PCGS. CAC. The 1911 is among the more challenging matte proofs to acquire in full Red condition, and none are certified as fine as PR67 Red at PCGS. While NGC lists a single Red Superb Gem, the finest pieces certified by PCGS -- and the finest endorsed by CAC -- are graded PR66+ Red (6/24). This top-grade PCGS coin displays somewhat glassy, satiny mint luster with sharp definition and outstanding visual appeal. Amber-red and antique-golden hues attest to the originality of this high-end example. The natural color of several matte proof Lincoln cent issues is on the cusp and amber-red as opposed to the bright orange seen on later issues -- that color range on this coin is a welcome sight for collectors seeking blatant originality. Population: 17 in 66 (5 in 66+) Red, 0 finer. CAC: 8 in 66, 0 finer (6/24).(Registry values: N4719)
