SPECIAL SUPERB GEM PROOF LINCOLN PENNY 1938 THEY ONLY MINTED A TOTAL OF 14,734 OF THESE PROOFS BACK IN 1938 SO ITS NOT LIKE TODAY WHEN THEY MINT MILLIONS SO ANY EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THESE 1938 PENNIES ISN'T AS EASY TO FIND AS YOU MIGHT THINK. ALSO, ESPECIALLY WITH PENNIES THEY TURN COLORS AND THEY ARE NEVER SAVED LIKE THE HIGHER DENOMINATIONS ARE AND WERE. PENNIES ARE THE TRICKIEST COINS OF ANY OF THEM. CHECK OUT THE PCGS GAURENTEE- THEY ARE THE ONLY COIN THAT THEY DON'T GAURENTEE THEIR GRADES BECAUSE OF THE PENNIES TURNING COLORS AND THEREFOR LOSING MOST OR ALMOST ALL OF THEIR VALUE. THIS IS A VERY NICE CLEAN AND WELL STRUCK CHERRY RED PENNY THAT HAS MADE IT THROUGH THE LAST 80 YEARS ROUGHLY AND STAYED IN NEARLY PERFECT CONDITION. ANYWAY, I GUESS I CANT GRADE COINS AT ALL BECAUSE TO ME THIS PENNY LOOKS FINE. I THINK NGC IS SEEING SOMETHING I AM NOT BY GRADING IT AS A PROOF 64 - THEY DID GIVE IT THE RED COLOR TAG. ITS A VERY PRETTY BRIGHT RED COLORED PENNY THAT REALLY DOESN'T HAVE ANY MARKS ON IT. I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHY IT GOT THE GRADE IT DID GET - I MEAN A PROOF 66 IS A VERY HIGH GRADE AS EVIDENCED BY THE FACT THAT PCGS IN ALL OF THEIR YEARS OF GRADING COINS HAVE ONLY GRADED EXACTLY 30 OF THESE IN PROOF 67 AND NONE HIGHER - SO THIS IS A REALLY HIGHLY PRIZED AND GRADED EXAMPLE - BUT THIS ONE LOOKS PRETTY CLOSE TO PERFECTION TO ME.
