<p>[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 2487980, member: 26030"]Shown below are the PCGS slab counts for the 1931-S Lincoln Cent in all Mint State Grades, for all 3 color classes. The facts of the situation are Mint State reds (RDs) are more common than either RB or BN. Mint State Browns are the rarest in terms of PCGS-graded 1931-S Lincolns. In the MS65 grade, there are 798 slabbed red (RD) coins, 142 slabbed red-brown (RB) coins, and only 24 slabbed brown (BN) coins. If you want a bargain coin that holds it's value better (IMHO) it's better to buy a beautifully toned RB or BN 1931-S (at the lower price) and avoid the more common and higher priced RD's. Most RD's that old have been dipped (to make them red ... imho) and sometimes can appear lusterless and flat due to that process.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/PCGS_Pops_1931s.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is an example of a nice lusterous MS63BN that I picked up for $150.</p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/TrueView_32462587_Large.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
