Bright red copper color and well-defined surfaces highlight this beautiful 1953-D/D Lincoln cent from the Denver mint. Graded MS66 Red by PCGS, this premium gem example has beautiful mint luster and has earned a CAC endorsement as an outstanding example of the grade – one of only 20 graded MS66 Red to do so. This is a brilliant example of the re-punched mint mark (RPM) FS-501 variety. PCGS has graded only 101 of the FS-501 variety with just 15 in MS66 Red and only one finer. This is an outstanding coin for the RPM collector.
