1914-D Lincoln Cent. MS-64 RD (PCGS). CAC. OGH.Here is a significant offering for advanced Lincoln cent enthusiasts, a remarkable full Red Choice example of the key date 1914-D with CAC approval. Vivid light orange surfaces are fully lustrous with a delightful satin finish. The striking detail is universally bold, and the surfaces are carefully preserved with only a few faint traces of carbon precluding an even higher grade.<p>Although the 1909-S V.D.B. and 1931-S were produced in smaller numbers, the 1914-D is the rarest Lincoln cent issue (as opposed to variety or error) in Mint State. With a mintage of just 1.1 million pieces, the 1914-D seems to have slipped quietly into circulation, with most coins remaining there until worn out or lost. Relatively few Mint State examples have survived, and most extant seem to have survived purely as a matter of chance. The offered coin is among the finest we have offered in recent sales, and would be just right for an advanced collection of this perennially popular small cent series.PCGS# 2473.
