1911-D 1C MS66 Red PCGS
<B>1911-D 1C MS66 Red PCGS.</B></I> The 1911-D cent sports a mintage of 12.672 million pieces. The certified population data would seem to indicate that enough Mint State pieces have survived to meet collector demand, at least for average-quality examples. David Lange, however, writes in his <I>The Complete Guide to Lincoln Cents</B></I>, that: "Truly choice and gem specimens ... are quite difficult to find. This is aggravated by the tendency of this date to be softly struck and have a weakly-impressed mintmark."<BR> We offer an exceptional fully red Premium Gem '11-D in this lot, in that a well executed strike leaves crisp definition on the design elements, including the mintmark, Lincoln's hair and beard, and the grains and lines of the wheat stalks. Vibrant orange luster invigorates both sides, and a couple of minor obverse field marks do not disturb. Housed in a green-label holder. Population: 17 in 66 Red, 1 finer (1/08).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Victor D.
