1913-S Lincoln. PCI graded MS-65 Red. A nice red color with reflective surfaces. The elusive 1913-S was struck to the tune of 6.1 million pieces. While this figure might have been respectable in 19th century U.S. Mint production, it is low by 20th century values. Even lesser Mint State survivors are scarce, with poor striking and so-so luster affecting even the finest levels of Mint State, Red preservation. We are pleased to say this is a '13-S Cent that is better impressed and more carefully preserved than others we have seen in MS65 Red condition. There are no bothersome specks or carbon dotting either side, and we are also unable to locate a single annoying blemish. One tiny mark at the eye is mentioned for accuracy. Mint-red color is a vivid coppery shade that projects out at all angles. This 1913-S Cent would perform well as a centerpiece in any top-rated Gem set of Lincoln Cents.
Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,500.
