1947-D Copper Wheat Penny MS65RD TB $150
This 1947-D Lincoln Wheat Penny is a high-grade numismatic specimen professionally certified at a Mint State 65 Red (MS65RD) level. Struck at the Denver Mint, this coin features the iconic composition of 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc, boasting a brilliant, original mint luster and a vibrant red color that is highly sought after by collectors. The MS65 grade indicates a well-struck coin with minimal surface marks and excellent eye appeal, while the Red (RD) designation confirms it has retained at least 95% of its original copper brilliance. This specific example is housed in a protective professional holder with a "TB" designation and historical heritage labeling. As a mid-century Denver strike, this piece represents a classic era of American coinage, offering exceptional preservation and serving as a premium addition to any specialized Lincoln Cent collection or investment-grade portfolio.
Condition: This 1947-D Lincoln Wheat Cent is in Mint State 65 Red (MS65RD) condition, indicating a high-quality uncirculated specimen with strong luster and original copper-red coloration. The "Mint" designation refers to the Denver Mint, signified by the "D" mint mark. Its metal content consists of 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc, a composition returned to in 1944 following the 1943 steel cent production. In historical context, this coin represents the post-WWII era of American coinage characterized by massive production levels. The strike type is a standard business strike intended for circulation, though this specific example remained well-preserved. Regarding grading, the coin is professionally encapsulated and graded MS65RD by a third-party service, though the specific grading company is obscured by a retail label. Collector value for a 1947-D in MS65RD typically ranges between $20 and $40 based on major price guides and recent auction data; the $150 asking price is significantly above the standard market retail value of approximately $75 indicated on the label.
