Lot 88 - 1921 Lincoln Cent PCGS MS66 RD
1921 Lincoln Cent. The otherwise pinkish-orange luster deepens to crimson colors in a few outer areas with superlative surface originality that nicely supports the bold relief of the design.

The minting of all coins save for the newly mandated silver dollars was way down in 1921 over what it had been in 1920, due in part to a short but severe recession which set in following the end of the World War. Nearly all 1921 cents from the both mints were struck in the early months. After that, demand for additional circulation strikes waned; the massive quantities issued 1916-20 were more than adequate to meet the needs of the post-war economy.
