1955-S Lincoln Cent. MS-67 RD (PCGS). CAC. Secure Holder.，This is a beautiful coin, both sides highly lustrous with vivid reddish-rose color. Predominantly smooth and virtually pristine, there is much to recommend this Superb Gem to the discerning Lincoln cent enthusiast. The 1955-S is the first circulation strike issue of this type since the late 1930s with a mintage of fewer than 50,000,000 pieces. The relatively limited total of 44,610,000 coins struck immediately caught the eye of contemporary numismatists, who set aside so many examples that the 1955-S Lincoln cent ranks alongside the 1950-D Jefferson nickel and 1955-S Roosevelt dime as one of the most widely hoarded issues in U.S. coinage history. Popular with collectors then and now, the acquisition of a high quality 1955-S cent such as this is a rewarding achievement.，From the ESM Collection.，
