1919 1C MS68 Red PCGS
<B>1919 1C MS68 Red PCGS.</B></I> The 1919 is a well-established common date among Lincoln cents, and its abnormally high mintage of over 392 million pieces, combined with extensive saving of the issue in roll quantities, has led to it having the highest population of MS68 survivors of any pre-Memorial issue, according to the PCGS <I>Population Report</B></I>. Unlike a number of other dates of interest to Registry collectors, the 1919 also has a stable population; a Heritage description cites October 1997 population figures that are identical to today's numbers, which are 14 in 68 with one finer (1/08).<BR> The present example offers the magnificent eye appeal one should expect for the MS68 designation. Pale straw-gold margins cede to copper-orange on the obverse and peach on the reverse. Crisp definition and immaculate surfaces complete the impression of virtual perfection.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Victor D.
