Owner's Description

This was the first coin purchased for the set. It was acquired in early June 2008 from a seller on ebay. As the certification number suggests, it is in an old style NGC holder that it has been in for a fairly long time I imagine.

As the first coin in the series, this was a bit of a test case. The pennies are among the cheapest coins in this set, however, they appear in high grade reds fairly rarely. I had been looking high and low for a nice MS65RD when this one became available for sale. I knew the coin wouldn't come too cheap but I was able to convince my step-father that we should go for it. The maximum price he was willing to pay for it was not much higher than what I expected the coin to go for. I had to cross my fingers and hope that we'd win. It was a close call but we obviously did win the coin for approximately $225.00, and this set was on its way.

This coin has great details and great color. It has dimmed a bit with time but it's still a strong red. There are no meaningful marks on either side. The NGC population for this coin (the last time I checked anyway) was 161 with 14 finer (MS67RD). I don't think I'll be seeing any MS67RDs any time soon, but I guess stranger things have happened.
