1964-D Lincoln Cent (1c) Error 65 Pct Off-Center

The 1964-D Lincoln cent came from the largest mintage year in U.S. history - over 3.7 billion pieces were struck at the Denver Mint alone as the government desperately tried to meet demand during the coin shortage crisis. With such massive production runs, mint errors like off-center strikes occasionally slipped through quality control, making 1964-D error cents more available to modern collectors than those from lower-mintage years.

This spectacular 65% off-center error retains its full original red surfaces - a rarity among mint errors that typically show handling marks or environmental damage. The dramatic misalignment shows Lincoln's profile and partial date perfectly centered on the struck portion, while the reverse displays a crisp section of the Memorial and "AMERICA" lettering. The unstruck planchet area exhibits the original mint luster, and the overall eye appeal is outstanding. Clean surfaces throughout make this MS65 Red designation well-deserved for such a visually striking major mint error.
