WHY THIS COIN:

The Lincoln Wheat Cent series (1909–1958) remains one of the most widely collected series in American numismatics, and full Red (RD) designation at the MS66 level represents a genuinely high-end example — most surviving 1955 cents have toned to brown or red-brown over the decades. A coin holding true Red color at this grade is increasingly scarce and a strong addition to any Lincoln cent set, type set, or 20th-century US coin collection.

Coin ships secure in its original PCGS holder, exactly as pictured. Please review all photos closely as they are part of the description.
