Lot 1270
1914-D. NGC graded MS-65 Brown. A nice coin. Some mint red visible. Only 1.193 million cents were made in Denver in 1914, and it was noted as a key issue in the Lincoln series as early as the 1930s. The '14-D is an issue that is also easier said than done to locate with fully lustrous surfaces. 1914-D cents are generally better struck than the D-Mint cents of 1911 through 1913. Most show full details, with only slight softening of the numerals and lettering. Recognized as a rarity as early as the 1930s, this issue was tied at $2.00 with its San Francisco cousin for the most highly valued Lincoln Cents in the 1935 Standard Catalog. With the growing popularity of this series, its value really took off during the 1950s and early 60s. Pop 16; 3 finer in 66.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.
