1917-S 1C MS65 Red PCGS.
1917-S 1C MS65 Red PCGS. This piece is a rarity among the San Francisco issue for the year in that it was struck from relatively fresh dies on both the obverse and reverse. It was the usual practice during 1917 and 1918 to work three shifts around the clock to produce coins at our nation's mints during the critical wartime period of World War I. As a result the dies were extensively worn before being replaced with new ones. This was even more true at the Denver and San Francisco production facilities because all of the dies were prepared at the Philadelphia mint and had to be sent to the other two, making them less readily available "out west". In addition to the sharply struck detail, this coin is refreshingly lustrous with an eye-appealing orange-red patina that graces its surfaces. A small number of ticks appears with only one or two that keep it out of the next higher grade, which has only happened once at PCGS and not at all at NGC. Minor darkening exists at the last two digits of the date on this example and spots are seldom encountered on its contours. A Lincoln specialist's dream come true for the lucky successful bidder.

On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances.
