"Premium 1931-S Lincoln Wheat Cent - Rare Full Red Specimen

Presenting an exceptional 1931-S Lincoln Wheat Cent in Very Good condition with original full Red (RD) coloration - a truly remarkable find from one of the most challenging years of the Lincoln cent series. The preservation of its original mint red color makes this specimen particularly extraordinary, as most surviving examples have long since toned to brown.

Outstanding Features: • Original Full Red (RD) color designation • Coveted San Francisco Mint issue (S mintmark) • Very Good condition with clear details • One of only 866,000 minted • Premium color preservation • Wheat reverse design • 95% copper composition

Color and Condition Highlights: • Stunning original mint red color retained • Natural copper luster • No artificial enhancement • Clear mint mark and date • Sharp wheat stalk definition • Well-preserved Lincoln profile

Historical & Numismatic Significance: The 1931-S cent is already a key date in the series, but the retention of its original red color elevates this piece to an entirely different level of desirability. During the Great Depression, when only 866,000 pieces were struck at the San Francisco Mint, few survived in any condition, let alone with original red surfaces.

Investment Quality: Red 1931-S cents are among the most sought-after Lincoln cents of the era. The combination of: • Key date status • Low mintage • Original red color • Very Good condition Makes this an exceptional opportunity for serious collectors.

Perfect for: • Advanced Lincoln cent collectors • Color designation specialists • Investment-focused numismatists • Depression-era coin collectors"
