 1914'D' Gem Brilliant Uncirculated. Here is the collector's ultimate dream coin, a full red specimen of one of the key dates to the Lincoln Cent series. Lincoln's bust and the peripheral legends are fully struck up on the obverse, while the wheat ears and lettering on the reverse are similarly well defined. The blazing red original mint color imparted to this coin at time of striking includes tinges of salmon and rose, and is consistent with the metal color seen on issues of the Denver mint from this time period. Close scrutiny under magnification will reveal a few minor marks in addition to some trivial carbon flecks, but these are inconsequential when reviewed in the light of the sheer beauty of this Lincoln Cent, a rarity in such a lofty state of preservation.
