Lot 232		1912 Lincoln Cent. PCGS graded MS-66 Red. A fresh, full Red example with two tiny marks in the right obverse field. Rare in this lofty grade, yet still affordable because of the existence of some MS-67 Red examples of this date.

Lot 233		1912 Lincoln Cent. PCGS graded MS-66 Red. Here's a date that doesn't appear very often in MS-66 Red or better. This one is well struck and undeniably red. Were it not for a tiny flyspeck below the date, this would probably be in a 67 Red holder. PCGS reports 48 examples in this grade, only 6 in MS-67 Red, and none finer (PCGS # 2452) .

Lot 235		1912 Lincoln Cent. PCGS graded MS-65 Red & Brown. PQ. Virtually full Red color, but just a little too toned to justify a "Red" designation. Otherwise, the coin is very choice. Estimated Value $70 - 90. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $75
Lot 236		1912, 1914 (2 pcs), 1916, 1923 Lincoln Cents. MS-63 or better Brown to Red. Lot of 5 coins. Estimated Value $100 - 120. View details	Realized $276

Lot 238		1912-D Lincoln Cent. PCGS graded MS-64 Red. PQ. A very well -preserved example that probably deserves a 65 grade, but the luster is a trifle on the dusky side. Nonetheless, the color is full Red and both sides are clean and well struck (PCGS # 2455) . Estimated Value $350 - 450. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $357

Lot 241		1912-S Lincoln Cent. PCGS graded MS-64 Red PQ. Full Mint red and well struck. The obverse has a bright, hard luster that is quite different than the satiny finish that is usually seen.

Lot 244		1913 Lincoln Cent. PCGS graded Proof 65 Red & Brown. Toned in rich blends of rose-red, gold, and lilac pastel iridescence. Despite a few tiny flyspecks, this is a colorful beauty.

Lot 245		1913 Lincoln Cent. PCGS graded Proof 64 Red. PQ. Full red on the obverse, lightly toned on the reverse.

Lot 250		1913-S Lincoln Cent. PCGS graded MS-65 Red. An important, high-grade example of this date, bested by only two coins at PCGS (both MS-66 Reds) and tied with 39 others at this level. The overall appearance is exceptional, with a full strike and rich, satiny luster. A few minor flyspecks are noted, including one over the date.

Lot 253		1914 Lincoln Cent. PCGS graded Proof 65 Red & Brown PQ. Deep olive-brown on the obverse; rich reddish-brown on the reverse. Choice, clean surfaces.

Lot 256		1914-D Lincoln Cent. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. One of the toughest and most popular dates in the entire series. This one has glossy surfaces and some faded Mint Red that isn't accounted for in the "Brown" designation. We've maintained for a long time that it would be helpful if the Brown, Red-Brown, and Red designations were replaced by an actual measurement of the Mint Red (i.e. 40% Red). The coin offered here is a perfect example because, all else being equal, a coin with faded Mint Red should be worth more than a purely Brown one. At least, that's our opinion. Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500. View details	Realized $2,933
Lot 257		1914-D Lincoln Cent. PCGS graded MS-63 Red PQ. A nice full strike with lovely fiery mint red color. An important key date that is quite choice and deservingly called "Premium Quality" for the assigned grade. Pop of 123 with 51 in MS-65 and 3 in MS-66 (PCGS # 2473) . Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000. View details Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,450
Lot 258		1914-D Lincoln Cent. Sharpness of MS-60. Possible retooling around the edges is noted. Estimated Value $500 - 600. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $978
Lot 259		1914-D Lincoln Cent. PCGS graded EF-45. Rare "key" date issue. Glossy brown and choice except for an old vertical cut on Lincoln's temple. Estimated Value $350 - 400. View details	Realized $518
Lot 260		1914-D Lincoln Cent. PCGS graded EF-45. A pleasing glossy chocolate brown. Estimated Value $350 - 400. View details	Realized $719
Lot 261		1914-D Lincoln Cent. EF-45. Glossy chocolate brown. Estimated Value $350 - 400. View details	Realized $604

Lot 263		1914-D Lincoln Cent (3 pcs). Fine-12. A nice trio of this key-date cent. Lot of 3 coins. Estimated Value $400 - 450. View details	Realized $748
Lot 264		1914-D Lincoln Cent. VG-8. Uniform medium brown. Estimated Value $100 - 130. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $168
Lot 265		1914-S Lincoln Cent. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. PQ. An attractive, well struck example that has toned down to a uniform brown color. A hint of olive iridescence enhances the visual appeal. The placement of the mintmark on this piece is way low and to the left -- just an interesting tidbit that caught our eye. Estimated Value $300 - 400. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $299
Lot 266		1915 Lincoln Cent. PCGS graded Proof 66 Brown. PQ. Lovely shades of brown, blue and rust colors. The surfaces look near-perfect, thus our "PQ" designation. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,208
Lot 267		1915 Lincoln Cent. PCGS graded Proof 64 Red & Brown. A nice crisp strike and fully red with streaks of toning across the obverse. Pop of 43 with 34 in PR-65 and 1- in PR-66. Estimated Value $225 - 275. View details	Realized $414
Lot 268		1915 Lincoln Cent. PCGS graded MS-65 Red & Brown. Very lightly toned on the obverse and just about full red on the reverse. Well struck and choice. Estimated Value $200 - 250. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $633
Lot 269		1915-D Lincoln Cent. PCGS graded MS-64 Red. A real blazer. Well struck with a few too many fly-specks to make the full MS-65 Red designation (PCGS # 2482) . Estimated Value $120 - 140. View details Check results on similar lots	Realized $311
Lot 270		1915-D Lincoln Cent. PCGS graded MS-64 Red & Brown. Well struck with lovely shades of mint red color. Estimated Value $100 - 125. View details	Realized $127

Lot 272		1915-S Lincoln Cent. PCGS graded MS-64 Red & Brown. Unusual, streaky toning with alternating bands of original mint red. Well struck and choice for the grade. Lots of upside potential. Estimated Value $250 - 350. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $299
Lot 273		1916 Lincoln Cent. NGC graded Proof 66 Red. A needle-sharp example of this date, the second finest graded by NGC (exceeded only by a single Proof-67 Red). Both sides display nearly full Red color, with just the slightest mellowing to blood-red on the obverse and coppery-blue on the reverse. A wonderful condition-rarity that is sure to excite the Lincoln Cent specialist. Here's how rare this date is in full Red Proof condition: out of the 74 examples graded so far by NGC, only 5 have earned the Red designation. Part of the problem is that the finish applied to the matte Proofs seems to have activated the copper in the coins, making it more reactive to its environment and leading to a faster-than-average loss of color. Thankfully, this coin was well preserved and it is now safely ensconced in a protective holder. Estimated Value $12,000 - 14,000. View details	Unsold
Lot 274		1916 Lincoln Cent. PCGS graded Proof 65 Red & Brown. A nice, bold strike and choice surfaces. PCGS has graded only 30 coins at this level, 8 in PR-66 RB, and the best in this format is a single PR-67 RB. Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000. View details	Realized $2,645
Lot 275		1916 Lincoln Cent. PCGS graded Proof 65 Red & Brown PQ. Needle sharp and spot-free. An outstanding gem matte proof specimen that qualifies as Premium Quality for the grade. The obverse is a uniform reddish-brown faded from mint red, while the reverse is lighter with slight iridescence. Far scarcer than the 1915 although the mintages are similar. Pop of 30 with 8 in PR-66 and 1 in PR-67. Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000. View details	Realized $4,600
Lot 276		1916 Lincoln Cent. PCGS graded MS-65 Red. Nice, bold strike (PCGS # 2488) . Estimated Value $100 - 125. View details Check results on similar lots	Realized $230
Lot 277		1916 Lincoln Cent. PCGS graded MS-65 Red & Brown. PQ. Delicate sea-green toning over glossy surfaces. Nice, string strike. Estimated Value $60 - 80. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $35
Lot 278		1916, 1917, 1919 Lincoln Cents. MS-64 Red to MS-65 Red. Each a full Mint Red example. Lot of 3 coins. Estimated Value $125 - 150. View details	Realized $184
