1960 Lincoln Cent Large Date 1C – PCGS MS64RD | Brilliant Red Gem Copper Coin
“A true one-of-a-kind piece in our inventory — once sold, it may not be available again.”
This 1960 Lincoln Cent (Large Date variety), graded MS64RD by PCGS, is a beautiful near-Gem example of one of the most collected varieties in the Lincoln cent series. The year 1960 is especially significant because it features both Large Date and Small Date varieties, making it a must-have for collectors completing a full date-and-variety set.
Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin displays the Large Date style, identifiable by its bold, evenly spaced numerals. Certified MS64RD, it retains vibrant original mint luster with rich, full red color, indicating minimal oxidation and excellent preservation. The RD (Red) designation is highly desirable, as many copper coins tone over time and lose their original brilliance.
With sharp details and strong eye appeal, this coin sits just below Gem grade, offering an excellent balance of quality and value. PCGS certification ensures authenticity and adds confidence for collectors and investors alike.
As part of the long-running Lincoln cent series, designed by Victor D. Brenner, this coin reflects a classic era of U.S. coinage and remains a favorite among collectors due to its variety status, condition, and bright red surfaces.
