David Hall:
The 1910 is the highest mintage 1909 to 1915 Lincoln cent. As you might expect, this coin is readily available in both circulated and mint state grades. Full red original mint state examples show up in quantity from time to time, remnants of original rolls that were saved at the time of issue. The 1910 is available is full red Gem MS65 condition. Superb Gem MS66 examples are rare, and only a few Superb Gem full red MS67 examples are known. Most 1910s are well struck. Color is often of the lighter redish-brown hue.
