1914-D 1C MS65 Red NGC
<B>1914-D 1C MS65 Red NGC.</B></I> Unlike a number of other key dates in the Lincoln cent series, the 1914-D was not saved in quantity. While first-year enthusiasm preserved numerous 1909-S VDB cents, the 1931-S was anticipated as a low-mintage year, and the 1955 was tucked away as a curiosity by even non-numismatists, the 1914-D quietly slipped into circulation, and by the time collectors realized just how elusive examples were, the vast majority of the issue was circulated to some degree.<BR> By contrast, this vibrant Red Gem is a beautifully preserved survivor. The slightly hazy surfaces are predominantly copper-orange with elements of pale lilac and rose. Pleasingly detailed and surprisingly mark-free. A touch of streakiness at the lower reverse is of little concern. Census: 18 in 65 Red, 5 finer (11/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Victor D.
