1926-S Lincoln Cent. MS-64+ RD (PCGS).This San Francisco cent offers exceptional quality and eye appeal for an issue that is rarely seen with full Red color. Both sides of this vivid beauty exhibit dominant pinkish-rose color, the peripheries adorned with warmer reddish-orange. It is sharply struck and has a satiny and smooth appearance that is suggestive of an even higher grade. The 1926-S has a low mintage by the standards of this series, with just 4,550,000 pieces produced. It has long been regarded a semi to full key date issue in all grades, and the vast majority of collectors have settled for a worn example due to either availability or cost. Very scarce in all Mint State grades, in full Red, as here, the 1926-S is a noteworthy condition rarity that always attracts excitement. Among the finest known to PCGS, this cent will be just right for a top flight Lincoln set.PCGS Population: 5; 2 finer in this category (both MS-65 RD).
