<B>1919-S 1C MS65 Red PCGS.</B></I> In contrast to this issue's Philadelphia counterpart, the 1919-S cent is not a well-produced issue. While its overall strike quality is not so poor as the 1918-S or similar dates, worn dies are the norm rather than the exception, and most survivors, even those with no trace of wear, exhibit poor surface quality.<BR> This copper-orange Gem, which shows hints of rose at the slightly dusky margins, offers uncommonly potent eye appeal that far exceeds the mediocrity that prevails with most examples. While the strike is not full, it is bold overall, and the texture of the devices reveals considerably less die wear than usual. Excellent preservation and remarkable quality in every respect. PCGS has graded only one finer Red example (1/08).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Victor D.
