Lot 3114 1914-D Cent, MS64 Red and Brown Attractive Denver Key 1914-D 1C MS64 Red and Brown PCGS. A lovely satin example of this Denver key, showing pumpkin-orange surfaces with pinkish coppery tendencies. The strike is sharp, and only a few specks are seen. The faintest trace of chestnut toning in the fields earns this piece a Red and Brown designation from PCGS. The 1914-D is significantly more elusive in Mint State than the more highly heralded 1909-S VDB. Ex: Maurice Storck Collection (Heritage, 10/2020), lot 18050.
