1955-S One Cent Lincoln PCGS MS66 RD

Found! New Hoard of 1955-S Wheat Cents

We were amazed to learn that a fresh hoard of 1955-S Wheat-Back Lincoln Pennies had been found. That's because 1955 was the very last year that the San Francisco Mint struck these coins, and this hoard was a former purchase direct from the mint – 51 freshly struck paper-wrapped rolls, never opened! Better yet, many of the coins were graded by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) as being in amazing high-grade condition.

The pennies available in this offer have been graded by PCGS as being in incredible Gem Uncirculated Mint State-66 (MS66) condition, meaning they feature full original luster, above average eye appeal and no hairlines or other imperfection visible to the naked eye. Lincoln never looked so good!

Additionally, PCGS has certified these coins as Red (RD) copper pennies, a designation that really locks down their status as high-grade coins. A Red designation is applied only to high-grade copper pennies that retain at least 95 percent of their original red color on their surfaces. When copper coins are first struck, they have a brilliant reddish-orange color. Over time that red color will begin to turn brown. The color of vintage pennies and other copper coins is graded on a continuous scale of Red (RD), Red Brown RB) and Brown (BN).

Secure one or several of these fabulous "Wheaties" now before they're all gobbled up by eager collectors hungry to make them part of their collections!
