This sale is for a 1968 S Proof, Lincoln Memorial Cent #1, which I believe to be in Gem Brilliant Uncirculated Full Red Condition. This Collector’s Piece is the Ultimate Sculpted Coin Art, and Also makes for a Memorable Birthday Card Stuffer! *In 1968, the manufacture of Proof Coins was moved to the San Francisco Mint, and thus, the S Mint Mark was added. I consider my Gem BU’s to be My Best, but Still Less Than the Perfect Grade. My Gem BU Proof Cents all have 100% Natural, Mirror-like Red Luster, Smooth Surfaces and No Finger Marks. They also may have a tiny carbon spot or two and/or minor Nicks, so please see the Picture. I do also have a 'Full Red' Brilliant Uncirculated Line (Green Backgrounds); and a ‘Near Full Red’ Brilliant Uncirculated (Burgundy color Backgrounds)- both of which are slightly Cheaper, and still Very High Quality! This Gem B.U. Proof Penny from San Francisco is a Deed of Historic Real Estate and an Appreciating Asset! Have you seen the Price of Proof Indian Heads Lately? The collectible rare coin pictured is the coin you will receive.

*A Proof is a Type of coin, not a Grade.
* Proof Coins are specially made for collectors, from highly polished Dies and specially chosen Planchets, and are usually Double-Stamped to obtain their Mirror-like Finish and Extraordinary Detail. Proofs are spendable currency, but most proofs remain Uncirculated since they are only sold to Collectors, for a Premium, in U.S. Mint, Special Releases. Proof Coins were made in Philadelphia until 1967, and are now the sole product of the otherwise retired San Francisco Mint. ‘Proof Strike’ Coins, as opposed to normal ‘Business Strike’ or Circulation Coins are further described by their Condition and their Cameo Contrast:
*Gem Brilliant Uncirculated; Full Red, Near Full Red, and Red Brown Brilliant Uncirculated describe the Condition of the Proof.
*Non-Cameo, Cameo, and Deep Cameo describe the Contrast between the mirror-like surface and the Frosty or Satiny Portrait.
