1975 1C, RD

Description

1975 Lincoln Cent, RD. This exceptional 1975 Lincoln cent has been certified by NGC as MS-68 Red (RD), representing an outstanding example of this common-date issue. The coin exhibits the brilliant, original red coloration that defines premium copper coinage, with full mint luster and exceptional eye appeal. At the MS-68 level, this penny demonstrates minimal imperfections, with only trivial surface marks visible under magnification. The 1975 cent was produced in substantial quantities at multiple mint facilities, making it readily available in circulated grades. However, finding examples that have maintained their original red color and achieved this level of preservation is considerably more challenging. The MS-68 grade places this coin well above typical survivors and reflects careful handling and storage since its release from the mint. This coin represents an excellent example for the serious type collector or those building a high-grade Lincoln cent collection. NGC Certification #6604447002
