1911-S

PCGS graded MS-66 Red PQ.
CAC Approved
.
Tied for Finest graded at PCGS. This is a popular lower
mintage issue even in the finer circulated grades, but the
1911-S becomes something of a celebrity and condition rar-
ity at the Gem Red level of where surface quality and cop-
per brilliance makes all the difference in the world. This
spectacular MS66 Red survivor offers classic visual impact
when viewed for the first time; in addition to rock-solid
technical quality, it offers the prospective owner a tantaliz-
ing low PCGS census (see below). Brilliant copper-red luster
establishes dominance over both sides and gives nary an
inch to anything even approaching criticism. Meanwhile,
the sharp strike detail is its defining feature, one that char-
acterizes most Cents of this S-mint release, we are happy
to say. A blemish-free beauty which breezes through the
gauntlet laid down by the grading service for MS66 grade
level.

1922. No D. Strong reverse
.
PCGS graded AU-53
. The
1922 No D Lincoln Cent is a difficult issue to locate in the finer
circulated grades, and the No D Strong Reverse variety is even
rarer. The present coin is typical of the AU53 quality whereby
the obverse die was quite worn. The Lincoln side lacks defini-
tion, while the reverse with the Wheat Ears shows much stron-
ger detail. The error occurred when one of the 1922-D obverse
dies clashed and the clashmarks were ground off the die, which
happened to remove the mintmark. (

Estimated Value ..............................................$3,700 - 4,000

1922. No D. Strong Reverse
.
PCGS graded AU-50 Brown
.
Popular key date. A pleasing warm brown to reddish brown
specimen with the usual indistinct obverse detail, but bold
devices and the reverse and grand eye appeal. Weakness at the
obverse as typically seen resulted from the Mint using a heavily
worn die long past its useful production cycle. (

Estimated Value ..............................................$2,900 - 3,000

1936-S
.
PCGS graded MS-67 Red
. Fully red. A pristine origi-
nal Gem that has rich coppery color. Lustrous and immaculately
preserved. The strike as keen as a razor on the wheat ears as
well as on Lincoln’s hair, beard, coat and tie.
Pop 47; none
finer at PCGS
