Owner's Comments

1917 Lincoln Cent PCGS MS64 RD. Unusually strong RED, for fair price. Purchased $144.61 eBay 2/6/2025 ($140.11 offer + $4.50 shipping). Connor told me to buy this stat, and that I'd thank him later. Dealer initially wanted $150, but accepted offer for $140.11. At time of purchase, Connor noted the PCGS reail was $275, and they typically sell for $185-200+. Some small barely noticeable black spots (see Lincoln's lip, and on bottom of reverse), but overall nice eye appeal
