Description

Stunning 1925-D Lincoln Cent

MS-66 RD (NGC) Tied for Finest Certified

1925-D Lincoln Cent. MS-66 RD (NGC).

With over 22.58 million coins struck, the 1925-D is far from a rarity, but it is typically offered no finer than Choice Mint State. It is also often found with terrible production quality, featuring lackluster surfaces, poor striking detail and noticeable blemishes. In contrast, the present 1925-D is a boldly impressed, lustrous Gem with lovely pinkish-red color on both sides. The fields are remarkably smooth and feature a rich, matte-like texture throughout. The devices are free of significant blemishes making this a significant opportunity for quality-conscious Lincoln cent enthusiasts. It will be a fine choice for the very finest of Registry Sets, as the combined NGC and PCGS Population for the 1925-D cent in MS-66 Red is just seven, with no examples finer at either service. The present piece simply cannot be improved upon.

PCGS# 2563. NGC ID: 22CG.

NGC Census: 4; none finer in any category.
