Set of 11: 1955 - 1964 Everest Lincoln Cent NGC PF67RD Cameo Includes Large & Small Dates Bonus: Cameo Book Revised 2nd Edition
Description
- Between the small size of these coins and the primitive mint technology of the time, these coins are almost impossible to find with Cameo contrast on both the obverse and reverse
- Each graded in Superb Gem Proof 67 Red Cameo condition
- Given Rick Tomaska’s Everest Seal of Approval, indicating that it features the highest eye appeal for its date and grade
- Includes both the 1960 Large Date and 1960 Small Date varieties
- The 1960 Large Date variety is known for having a stronger strike and higher detail in the design
- Condition Rarity: Proof 67 Red Cameo populations are fewer than 700 coins for each issue
- The 1956 Lincoln Cent is the key date of the set with only 174 examples in PF67RD CAM
- Condition Rarity occurs when a coin is difficult to find in high grades
- Absolute Rarity: Only 378,200 examples of the 1955 Proof Lincoln Cent were struck
- Absolute Rarity means that a coin’s mintage is so low that it’s incredibly difficult to acquire in any condition
- Coins with the RD, or red, designation are among the most beautiful pieces as they have kept their original color
- Most Lincoln Cents have toned to a dull and undesirable brown hue due to a combination of the original cellophane packaging and copper’s highly reactive composition
- The Lincoln Cent began its mintage in 1909 and continued to be struck through 2025
- Victor David Brenner’s original design showcased the Wheat Ears reverse until 1958
- Frank Gasparro’s Lincoln Memorial reverse debuted in 1959 and was struck until 2008
- To increase your numismatic knowledge, this coin set comes with a copy of Rick Tomaska’s Cameo and Brilliant Proof Coinage of the 1950s to 1970s Era
