Bright red copper color and well-defined surfaces highlight this beautiful 1953-S/S Lincoln cent from the San Francisco mint. Graded MS66 Red by NGC, this premium gem example has beautiful mint luster. This is a brilliant example of the re-punched mint mark (RPM) VP-003 variety. NGC has graded only four of the VP-003 variety with just 3 in MS66 Red and none finer. This is an outstanding top pop coin for the RPM collector.
