1964-D 1C, RD MS67RD Certification #72622640, PCGS #2893

Type: Lincoln Cent (Modern), Type 3, Memorial Reverse (Copper) (1959-1982) Designer: Victor David Brenner/Frank Gasparro Content: 95% Copper, 5% Zinc Weight: 3.11 grams Diameter: 19.00 millimeters Edge: Plain Mint: Denver Production Strikes: 3,799,071,500 (1,933,908,100 of these were struck in 1965) General Type Description: 1959 was the 50th anniversary of the Lincoln Cent, high time to make a design change. The front of the coin was left alone, but the reverse was changed from the old "Wheat Ears" design to a frontal view of the Lincoln Memorial. As a result, Lincoln appears twice on the new Cent: once on the obverse and second time as a tiny figure seated in the center of his Memorial. (Source: Guth, Ron. PCGS CoinFacts) Specific Issue Description: The 1964-D is common in circulated grades up to MS64. In MS65 they are a little harder to find but probably many still in original and even opened rolls. In MS66 condition they become scarce with possibly under 1,000 available combined between raw and certified examples. There are probably more in original rolls but getting harder to find. There are probably very few if any at all in opened rolls as these are usually pulled out and sold as singles or are sent in to be graded. In MS67 it is one of the tougher dates from the 1960's especially from the Denver Mint. Less than two dozen are known in MS67 condition with none being graded higher. (Source: Hernandez, Jaime.
