1916-S Cent, MS64 Red and Brown Sharply Detailed and Lightly Marked 1916-S 1C MS64 Red and Brown PCGS. Cert # 36580825 From a mintage of more than 22 million pieces, the 1916-S Lincoln cent can be located with some patience at the MS64 grade level, with Red and Brown surfaces, but finer coins are elusive. This attractive Choice example displays sharply detailed design elements and well-preserved surfaces that show highlights of lilac and light brown on the obverse, while the reverse retains most of its original red patina. PCGS has graded 56 numerically finer Red and Brown examples (1/24).(Registry values: N991) Selections From The Towers Collection.
