Lincoln Cent
[ Click on coin to view full size image ] Description
An immaculate, pristine specimen. This coin is quite impressive. As you may know, 1913-S is considerably rare in gem red. In fact, this is the only one that I have had in quite some time. I am in love with this coin, to the point where I might want to seek professional help. The strike is so sharp and full that even the fields have that frosty look only seen on a fraction of the earliest Lincolns, up to around 1916. The mint luster is gentle and unimpeded by any distractions. That is the most rewarding aspect of this coin -- the lack of blemishes. No trace of carbon, no major contact marks, nothing! There is light cabinet friction that almost goes undetected. That's the extent of any notable imperfections...seriously, there is barely anything to report. This is the type of coin that can bring a collection to the next level.
