June 2023 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: Finest PCGS-Certified Proof 1955 Cent 1955 Lincoln Cent. Proof-69 Deep Cameo (PCGS). Offered is a truly memorable coin in a Proof Lincoln cent of any date, and what could very well be a once-in-a-lifetime bidding opportunity for the advanced collector seeking an example of the 1955 issue. This is a glorious specimen, as the assigned grade suggests, with virtually flawless surfaces dressed in vivid fire-orange mint color. Watery fields support satiny design elements, the entire package smooth in hand and virtually pristine. The Proof mintage of this issue is 378,200 pieces, not overly generous for the decade, and paltry in comparison to those of later date issues in the Proof Lincoln series. Even so, David W. Lange (The Complete Guide to Lincoln Cents, 1996) states that "Fully red gems are readily available." On the other hand, the author observes: "The greater number of new dies used also resulted in an increased population of cameos, though deep cameo examples are still quite rare." This is the single finest example seen by PCGS in the DCAM category, a strike and condition rarity par excellence that belongs in a top ranked collection on the Set Registry. PCGS Population: 1; 0 finer. PCGS# 93374. NGC ID: 22LF. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
