Lot 1046		1909-S. VDB. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. CAC Approved. This Choice Mint State example seems high-end for the assigned grade, with mark-free surfaces that are highly lustrous. The design elements are crisply rendered, and pleasing hues of tan-brown, sunset-red, and gold are intermingled across both sides. Perhaps the most famous of the key date Lincoln cents. Pop 357; 66 finer, 3 in 64+, 58 in 65, 5 in 66 (PCGS # 2426) . Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,700. The Agora Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,586
Lot 1047		1909-S. VDB. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. CAC Approved. A satiny specimen with deep mint red, brown, and golden-tan toning mingled over the lustrous surfaces. The surfaces are somewhat matte-like in appearance under low magnification, and show a few scattered marks. Some tiny toning flecks are noted, but the overall appearance is substantial enough to warrant strong bidding activity. Pop 357; 66 finer, 3 in 64+, 58 in 65, 5 in 66 (PCGS # 2426) . Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,700. The Agora Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,645

Lot 1050		1909. PCGS graded Proof 66 Red & Brown. A striking proof Lincoln with plenty of original mint red enhanced by gorgeous cherry-red and blue toning. While relatively common in Gem condition, few are going to have this much eye appeal and we urge the interested bidder to view this lot carefully. Pop 35; 6 finer (PCGS # 3304) . Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,300. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1051		1909. PCGS graded Proof 65 Red & Brown. CAC Approved. After the low-mintage 1909 V.D.B. proofs were struck, there were 2,342 proof Lincoln cents produced without the designer's initials. As expected, the striking details on this matte proof are sharp in all areas. The surfaces have the typical fine-grain texture as is seen on matte proofs. A mixture of deep cherry-red and tan-brown covers each side. Exceptional quality and value for the Lincoln cent enthusiast.Housed in an Old Green Holder. Pop 100; 42 finer (PCGS # 3304) . Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,100. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,234
Lot 1052		1911. PCGS graded Proof 65 Red & Brown. Copper-red, tan-brown, and mint-green colors dominate the surfaces of this razor sharp Gem example. Fully struck, undisturbed, and very scarce in this high grade. According to the Redbook, 1,725 pieces were minted. Pop 64; 24 finer, 2 in 65+, 20 in 66, 1 in 66+, 1 in 67 (PCGS # 3310) . Estimated Value $900 - 950. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,175
Lot 1053		1912-D. PCGS graded MS-65 Red. Uncommonly well preserved for this scarce Denver Mint issue, both sides retain full mint bloom in shimmering fiery-red color. The coin is sharply struck on the obverse and reverse featuring sharp detailing on Lincoln's hair and the wheat ears. There are no grade-limiting blemishes, only explosive mint luster and color. For accuracy, a couple of microscopic flyspecks are seen on the reverse. A semi-key issue in the Lincoln Cent series, the 1912-D has a relatively low mintage of just over 10.4 million pieces. Examples are scarce at all levels of preservation; in the finer circulated and Mint State grades they are nothing short of rare. Uncirculated survivors are frequently beleaguered by varying degrees of incompleteness due to die wear, so sharply defined examples are always in demand among leading Lincoln cent collectors. Pop 103; 23 finer, 5 in 65+, 18 in 66 (PCGS # 2455) . Estimated Value $1,900 - 2,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1054		1913. PCGS graded Proof 64 Red & Brown. CAC Approved. Razor sharp with about a 50-50 mix of golden-red and brown patina. One black spot is mentioned at the top of the right wheat ear (PCGS # 3316) . Estimated Value $650 - 700. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $734
Lot 1055		1914. NGC graded Proof 64 Red & Brown. CAC Approved. Both sides of this boldly detailed matte proof have faded orange mint luster with vibrant iridescent toning that deepens to brown at certain areas. Sharp and attractive for the grade. Housed in an Old Style Holder. Pop 28; 59 finer, 32 in 65, 22 in 66, 5 in 67 (PCGS # 3318) . Estimated Value $700 - 750. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $852
Lot 1056		1916. PCGS graded Proof 65 Brown. Rare in all grades, especially so at the Gem level as precious few have survived intact. With an original mintage of just 1,050 pieces, this is one of the finer seen. Mostly a medium brown color with some slightly deeper accents here and there, a finely textured matte surface is clearly seen on the devices and in the fields. Lincoln's beard shows full definition as required of a Matte proof example, as does a high, sharp wire edge. Pop 14; 6 finer, 1 in 65+, 3 in 66, 1 in 66+, 1 in 67 (PCGS # 3324) . Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,300. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,173
Lot 1057		1924-D. PCGS graded MS-64 Red. The smooth, slightly frosted surfaces exhibit a pronounced golden-red color which presents as even on each side. Very little muting of color is seen, and there are no marks or spots worthy of mention, and the surfaces are remarkably free of imperfections. An exceptionally attractive near-Gem example of this difficult date. Pop 89; 41 finer, 39 in 65, 1 in 65+, 1 in 66 (PCGS # 2554) . Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,300. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,763
Lot 1058		1941. Doubled Die Obverse. FS-103 (FS-018.3). PCGS graded MS-64 Red. Doubling is reported on some of the obverse letters, visible with a loupe. Pleasing deep red color, remnants of an ancient fingerprint are also reported, this being the grade-limiting factor. Pop 1; 5 finer, 2 in 65, 3 in 66. (PCGS # 37786) . Estimated Value $800 - 850. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $646

Lot 1060		1955. Doubled Die Obverse PCGS graded Genuine AU Details. Cleaned. A slightly unnatural red color is detected on each side, otherwise, a lightly abraded example with a pleasant appearance.
