1919-D Lincoln Cent. MS-66+ RD (PCGS).A phenomenal example of this conditionally challenging Denver Mint issue. Dressed in a blend of medium orange and pinkish-rose colors, both sides are silky smooth in appearance with a soft satin texture from the dies. Striking quality is no less impressive than the surface preservation, and we note razor sharp definition from the rims to the centers. A beautiful and highly significant Gem that would do justice to the finest Lincoln cent collection. With a generous mintage of 57,154,000 pieces, the 1919-D is not a major rarity in Mint State, at least not by early mintmarked Lincoln cent standards. On the other hand, such pieces are typically encountered at lower levels due to poor striking quality and dark and/or spotted surfaces. A noteworthy departure from this norm, the virtually pristine coin offered here is worthy of the strongest bids.<p>PCGS Population: just 4; with a mere two finer (both MS-67 RD).
