1914-S 1C MS65 Red NGC.
<B>1914-S 1C MS65 Red NGC.</B></I> The 1914-S is among the scarcest of the semi-key dates in the Lincoln cent series. High-grade pieces are in relatively short supply due to problems in producing the coins. More specifically, cent specialist David Lange (2005) writes: "Problems with the planchet stock have caused many specimens across the entire grade spectrum to display signs of corrosion and other discoloration." The elusiveness of full Red Gem specimens is evident from the census/population data that shows just 38 MS65 coins, and a mere two finer (6/07). The exceptional Red Gem in this lot displays bright gold surfaces that exhibit sharply struck design elements. Impressively preserved on both sides, with no mentionable spots, discoloration, or stains. Census: 5 in 65 Red, 0 finer (6/07).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
