1992 Lincoln Cent. FS-901. Close AM. MS-63 RB (PCGS).

1992 Lincoln Cent. FS-901. Close AM. MS-63 RB (PCGS).，Handsome and fully original Choice Mint State quality for this elusive transitional variety of the 1992 cent. Lightly toned in somewhat streaky rose-brown patina, both sides also retain ample medium rose luster. Boldly struck from the dies with only light carbon spots precluding an even higher numeric grade. This rare variant of the 1992 cent was struck using a new reverse design that the Mint officially introduced in 1993. This new reverse is most easily identified by close spacing between the letters AM in AMERICA. The first examples of this variety were reported in 2006, on coins from both the Philadelphia and Denver mints. Both the 1992 and 1992-D Close AM remain rare, the former even more so than the latter. A highlight of the present collection that is sure to catch the eye of advanced Lincoln cent enthusiasts.，From the ESM Collection.，
