1936-S
.
PCGS graded MS-67 Red
. The surfaces are bright
with coppery red luster, incredible glowing luster, and show
none of the muting often seen on this issue. Most coins of this
date are carefully struck; some are much better than others
however; and collectors, true to their tradition, wish that all
could be like this keen-edged example exhibiting fine detail to
all the high points, including the portrait and wheat lines.

PCGS graded MS-67+ Red PQ.
CAC Approved
.
Lovely mint red. A beautiful red coin with no objectionable
marks or spotting. All this is perhaps par for the course given
the astounding grade, with an especially bold strike comple-
menting the luster as well.

1938
.
PCGS graded Proof 65 Red
. Fully red, a boldly origi-
nal Gem Proof. Following a hiatus when no Lincoln Cent Proofs
were made between 1917 and 1935, production resumed in
1936. This time, the Mint reverted to the always popular mirror
finish, as here. Only 14,734 struck in 1938. (

1947
.
PCGS graded MS-67 Red
. Wonderful full mint red on
this superb example. A great deal of stress is laid on the strike
detail of these later date, high-end Lincoln Cents, and this
model-coin in particular is well struck on all devices.

1953-D
.
PCGS graded MS-67 Red
. Satiny surfaces explode
with intense luster and full-on coppery red color. Superb! It is
interesting to see, as well, that this ’53-D was struck from well-
prepared dies that imported a sound and in point of fact, a bold
design in all following areas
