Lot 708		1909-S Lincoln Cent. VDB. NGC graded MS-66 Red & Brown. Reddish brown with mint red highlights. A lock-solid frosty gem with strong primary color and rich toned highlights on both sides. More than adequately struck for the '09-S VDB Type, indeed it is the way collectors like it, since this issue sometimes comes up short. Certainly a coin that gets points where fullness of design is concerned. Pop 41; 2 finer in 66*. Estimated Value $4,200 - 4,400. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $5,060

Lot 713		1910 Lincoln Cent. NGC graded Proof 67 Red. A satiny red gem, richly empowered with deep luster and dancing shades of red and coppery fire. No flecks or carbon seen anywhere on the coin.

Lot 716		1913 Lincoln Cent. NGC graded Proof 67 Red. Catch your breath: we do not recall ever having handled a comparable dazzling gem 1913 Proof cent whose surfaces are as technically superb and rousingly beautiful as those of the Superb Gem in this lot. Both sides are matte fresh in sheen with not a single interruption in the smooth flowing luster. This Registry Set candidate will likely see active bidding when it sells. 2,983 minted.

Lot 720		1922 Lincoln Cent. No D. Strong reverse. PCGS graded AU-55 PQ. A delightful light reddish brown example with luster aplenty on both sides, clean, problem-free surfaces, and good detail. Part of an unusual grading set of these important Lincoln Cent oddities. The 1922 "Plain" cents while, at first blush, a novice might think were struck at the mint at Philadelphia, since they carry no mintmark, have long been known to be made at the Denver Mint. The "D" mintmark on the obverse die got filled with a foreign substance, perhaps grease from the equipment, and so faded away until the D disappeared completely. Coins in this high grade command strong prices. We expect active bidding action! Pop 53; 76 finer, 39 in 58, 1in 60, 22 in 62, 9 in 63, 5 in 64 (PCGS # 3287) . Estimated Value $6,500 - 7,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $7,475
Lot 721		1922 Lincoln Cent. No D. Strong reverse. PCGS graded AU-53. Another carefully selected specimen by our consignor who chose the coin for its attractive light brown color and spot-free condition. The obverse detail on these, because from a worn die, shows a little weakness in the legends LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST. The date numerals are clear as a bell. Lustrous. Full, strong wheat lines (PCGS # 3285) . Estimated Value $5,700 - 5,900. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 722		1922 Lincoln Cent. No D. Strong reverse. PCGS graded AU-50. Attractive orange-brown with golden accents and, again, as in the majority of the pieces from this historic group, a coin that is completely free of carbon spots, tarnish, or heavy handling from its short few months in circulation. A glass reveals a couple of tiny areas of verdigris around the denomination and legend on the reverse. What better, worthwhile addition to a choice collection of Lincoln Cents than to acquire this well struck, full Wheat Ears specimen (PCGS # 3285) . Estimated Value $5,300 - 5,500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 723		1922 Lincoln Cent. No D. Strong reverse. PCGS graded EF-45. Full, sharp wheat lines.

Estimated Value $3,500 - 3,700. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 724		1922 Lincoln Cent. No D. Strong reverse. PCGS graded EF-40.

A choice example in strong EF40 condition (PCGS # 3285) . Estimated Value $2,800 - 2,900. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 725		1922 Lincoln Cent. No D. Strong reverse. PCGS graded VF-35. Light to medium brown patina over lightly abraded surfaces. Sharp date and LIBERTY, weakness at IN GOD WE from a worn obverse die. The strong reverse is the most desirable variety of 1922 No D and always commands a large premium over the other varieties (PCGS # 3285) . Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,100. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 726		1922 Lincoln Cent. No D. Strong reverse. PCGS graded VF-30. Full strong date and clear design. Choice throughout (PCGS # 3285) . Estimated Value $1,800 - 1,900. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 727		1922 Lincoln Cent. No D. Strong reverse. PCGS graded VF-25. A few toned areas here and there consistent with its amount of circulation wear.

Lot 731		1922 Lincoln Cent. No D. Strong reverse. PCGS graded VG-10. With golden to medium brown "wood grain" surface color. All four digits in the date plain. LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST partially obscured by weak striking and the consequence of years in circulation. An affordable grade for this key date Lincoln Cent variety (PCGS # 3285) . Estimated Value $800 - 850. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 732		1922 Lincoln Cent. No D. Strong reverse. PCGS graded VG-8. A full date, with some of the wheat lines still evident on the reverse. Natural smooth wear on both sides.

Lot 734		1926-S Lincoln Cent. PCGS graded MS-64 Red & Brown. Well struck. Bold golden red luster on frosty surfaces that have delicate brown shades in them. Sharp and appealing and much better detailed than 90% of surviving '26-S cents. Far from the normal example of this issue, to say the least, is the respectable amount of detail in the wheat ears and wheat lines with no signs of weakness to the portrait of Lincoln, either (PCGS # 2574) . Estimated Value $450 - 500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,450
