1921-S 1C MS65 Red PCGS
<B>1921-S 1C MS65 Red PCGS.</B></I> Long regarded as a difficult issue, with a mintage of only 15 million pieces even circulated coins were rarely found in circulation in the 1950s. From the collector's standpoint average Uncirculated coins are not that difficult to locate and are moderately priced. However, the real stopper is a 1921-S with full red color. In Gem condition only 20 pieces have been certified with red color (17 by PCGS and three by NGC). None are finer at either service. This coin lacks the often-seen "woodgrain" texture on many '21-S cents. However, close examination reveals tiny specks of iridescence with bits of lime-green, lilac, and orange-red on each side. Well, but not fully struck as one would expect, with full definition on the reverse but soft details on Lincoln's beard.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Victor D.
