Rare 1916 Gem Red Proof Cent

1916 1C PR65 Red PCGS. Most of the surviving 1916 proof cents out of the original mintage of 600 pieces (2010 Guide Book) are Brown or Red and Brown. Fully red, unspotted, and fully struck pieces are rare. The present Gem offering displays copper-orange luster on matte surfaces. A well executed strike leaves crisp definition on the design features, including Lincoln's hair and bow tie and the grains and lines of the wheat stalks. A few minuscule toning spots are visible on each side but the coin is carbon free, and a small mark concealed in Lincoln's beard is within the parameters of the numerical grade. Population: 10 in 65 Red, 3 finer (11/09).(Registry values: N4719)
