<B>1926-S 1C MS65 Red ICG.</B></I> The 1926-S is a well-known semikey Lincoln cent issue from the 1920s, but it is extremely rare in grades approaching MS65, and full red color further compounds the rarity factor. This is a well struck example that has lovely, original red surfaces. The obverse is lighter overall, with a few trivial carbon flecks noted under a loupe. The reverse is a tad deeper in color, with cherry-red patina in the centers deepening to fuchsia at the rims. Lincoln cents of all stripes have been showing increased collector interest in recent months, likely due to the impending Lincoln special Mint issues planned for 2009 to commemorate Lincoln's birth bicentennial. As such, and as a standalone rarity in its own right, this piece is worthy of a strong bid from serious Lincoln cent specialists.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Victor D.
