1911-S Lincoln Cent. MS-66 RD (PCGS).,With a sharp to full strike, vivid autumn-orange luster and virtually pristine surfaces, it should come as no surprise to read that this delightful Gem is tied for finest certified among 1911-S cents known to PCGS. As with many early mintmarked Lincoln cents, this issue was widely hoarded by collectors during the 1950s and 1960s. By that time, of course, the vast majority of examples available to numismatists were well worn coins that had seen heavy commercial use. Mint State survivors are scarce in the context of this series, a fact that is due at least in part to a relatively limited mintage of 4,026,000 pieces. In premium Gem preservation with full mint luster, this top-of-the-pop example would do justice to the finest Lincoln cent collection on the PCGS Set Registry.,,
