1911-S. PCGS graded MS-65. One of the key dates in this series, and rarely found in full gem condition. PCGS reports only 18 graded this high, and 7 graded higher for this date. One little mark above the eagle's head will serve to identify this condition rarity. Flashy luster and excellent mint color throughout.
Estimated Value $7,000-8,000.

Lot 4109
1912. MS-60. Typical surfaces for the grade, but bright luster throughout.
Estimated Value $325-350.

1913-S. ANACS graded MS-60. Only 66,000 were coined for the year, and this is a tough date to find in uncirculated condition. This one is well struck by the dies and shows only moderate handling marks, visible mostly with a glass. Satiny gold luster on the obverse, and a rare coin in this grade. One for the advanced numismatist who needs this date.
Estimated Value $2,500-2,700.

1914. NGC graded MS-64. This is a scarce date in high grade, and gets downright rare in full gem condition. Rare enough in MS-64, this flashy jewel should please most collectors. We do note a few breaks in the luster near the eagle's chest in the field, and another above his back, which are probably mint caused.
Estimated Value $1,200-1,400.

Lot 4112
1914. MS-60. A bit baggy.
Estimated Value $350-400.

Lot 4113
1914-D. MS-60 Plus. Bright luster and decent surfaces. Less expensive than the Lincoln Cent of this date in a comparable grade, but probably rarer! A nice example.
Estimated Value $400-500.

Lot 4114
1926. PCGS graded MS-64. Flashy luster throughout and well struck. Check this one out to see if it will fit into your date set.
