Each Lincoln Cent available in this offer is a 1951-D Lincoln Cent struck at the Denver Mint. Plus, each has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in impressive Gem Uncirculated Mint State-66 (MS66) condition. Additionally, NGC 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).

We only have a limited stock of these high-grade coins, so get yours now!
