1914-D Lincoln Cent (1c)

The 1914-D Lincoln cent stands as the first major hurdle for Lincoln cent collectors, with its modest mintage of 1,193,000 pieces making it scarce in all grades. As the first truly tough date in the series, this coin often serves as the gateway between casual collecting and serious numismatic pursuit - once you bite the bullet on a nice 1914-D, you're officially committed to the set.

This PCGS & CAC-approved XF40 displays lovely original chocolate-brown surfaces with excellent eye appeal for the grade. The strike is sharp with strong detail remaining in Lincoln's portrait and coat, while the wheat ears on the reverse show only modest wear. The surfaces are remarkably clean and free of the carbon spots or rim issues that often plague circulated examples of this date. A solid, problem-free example that would make an excellent addition to any Lincoln cent collection.
