1937 Lincoln Cent (1c)

The 1937 Lincoln Cent proof represents an important year in U.S. numismatic history, as it was only the second year of proof coin production following a 21-year hiatus. With a mintage of just 9,320 pieces, these proof pennies were specifically created for the growing numismatic market during the Great Depression. Their limited production makes high-grade examples particularly desirable.

This PR67 Red specimen, graded by PCGS and bearing a CAC sticker, is truly exceptional. The coin displays pristine mirror fields with razor-sharp reflectivity that contrasts beautifully against the frosted devices. The surfaces are virtually flawless, showing none of the carbon spotting that often plagues copper coins of this era. The original mint red color remains vibrant and complete, with rich coppery-orange tones that flash brilliantly when rotated under light. The eye appeal is absolutely outstanding, placing this coin among the finest survivors of this limited proof issue.
