Description
OK…now we’re in rarified air! Some coins are so amazing they are really hard to describe in words. If you look at enough top-quality rare coins…every once in a while, you see something that just stops you in your tracks. This early Lincoln Cents is so perfect in every way, it’s not just one of the finest 1919 Lincoln cents we have seen, it’s the best pre-1934 Lincoln cents we have ever seen. The surfaces are mark-free and a gorgeous even iridescent Red color. The strike is razor sharp…just amazing…full detail of the wheat stacks and lines, and Lincoln’s beard and hair detail are beyond belief. As sharp as you’d see on any proof. There have been 545,797 wheat back (1909-1958) Lincoln cents graded by PCGS in the past 36 years. Of those, just 170 have been graded MS68 Red…that’s one in every 3210 coins…most of them in the 1934 to 1958 era. Whether you are a Lincoln cent collector, or a United States type coin collector, this is the coin to have in your set!
