1916-S Lincoln Cent. MS-65 RD (PCGS).Handsome deep rose color greets the viewer from both sides of this impressive condition rarity. Sharply struck overall, most design elements are fully rendered with crisp definition. A bold satin to softly frosted finish further enhances the appeal of this expertly produced, carefully preserved example. From a mintage of 22,510,000 pieces, the typical survivor of which is well worn from years spent in circulation. Among Mint State examples, streaky planchets and/or subdued luster are the norm, which facts confirm the significance of this superior quality Gem.
