1927-S Lincoln Cent. MS-65+ RB (PCGS).Handsome deep rose surfaces are minimally toned in pale iridescent brown. With a sharp strike, to boot, this is an exceptional survivor of a conditionally challenging issue. Although recognized as a semi-key date Lincoln cent as early as the 1940s, by the time the inevitable hoarding targeted the 1927-S the vast majority of examples set aside by numismatists were in low grades through Fine. In VF, EF and AU this issue remains scarce by the standards of the type, while in Mint State the 1927-S is very scarce to rare depending on quality. A distinct cut above the typical softly struck and/or lackluster Uncirculated example, and rare thus, this impressive Gem almost certainly qualifies as Condition Census. Worthy of the strongest bid, and destined for inclusion in one of the finest Lincoln cent collections.PCGS Population: just 1; 0 finer in this category.
