A truly amazing PCGS-certified 1990 “No S” Deep Cameo Proof Lincoln cent is a highlight of our current iAuction sale #3510. It is thought that only a few hundred examples of this rarity were struck before the gaffe was noticed and the die replaced; fortunately for today’s Lincoln cent specialists, enough were released in sets that the pursuit of a specimen is not out of the realm of possibilities. The cameo contrast on this specimen is very strong. Brenner’s portrait of Lincoln, redesigned by 1990 and not quite true to the original 1909 portrait, is as sharp as will be found for Proof cents of the era. The reverse is equally stunning, with Frank Gasparro’s Lincoln Memorial design bold and easily equal to the grade. Indeed, to find a mark of any measure on this beauty would take a lot of looking, and for naught. Late 20th century coinage has come into the spotlight in recent times, and coins such as this 1990 “No S” Lincoln cent have been leading the charge. If you mean to own the pinnacle of perfection in your Lincoln cent cabinet, your opportunity to add another Gem is right here in iAuction #3510!
