1914 Lincoln Cent, PR66 Red and Brown
Condition Rarity at This Level

1914 1C PR66 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. Strong mint luster and the expected bold proof strike complement a rich palette of gold and rose with accents of violet and pale blue. The high numeric grade is apt, as the surfaces show pristine preservation on each side and no mentionable distractions appear, large or small. A coin with great eye appeal.

Population Data (7/14): PCGS has certified 32 submissions in the PR66 Red and Brown numeric grade (including two PR66+) and four PR67 Red and Brown finer. NGC shows 23 and five in PR66 and PR67 Red and Brown, respectively. Only five PR66 Red and Brown coins at both services combined have the green CAC approval sticker.

Heritage Commentary: Any matte proof in the PR66 or higher grade level is a conditional rarity. But this high-grade Red and Brown piece also offers that indefinable je ne sais quoi that many numismatists simply call "eye appeal."
