Owner Comments:
VERY RARE CENT - JUST ONE GRADED HIGHER!
In 1950 the U.S. Mint sold 51,386 Proof Sets, but their quality-control and packaging were terrible. Only 16 Lincoln Cents from 1950 are currently graded Proof 68 RD! This is one of the finest 1950 Proof Lincoln Cents that has survived. Only 1 specimen has ever been graded higher than this coin — that was a PF68* RD. There are no PF69s or 70s. This is one of the rarest coins in the Boyhood Dream Collection.
