Supposed PCGS MS66RD 1991S Lincoln Cent

Has anyone here ever heard of any 1991 S Business Strike Lincoln Cents?

I recently received a sales brochure along with my merchandise following an eBay win. In the sales brochure the shop lists for sale a 1991 S Lincoln Cent graded MS66RD. It seems odd that there would be any business strikes made at SF, CA since they should have only had proof dies. Anyway, I am attaching a photo of the section of the sales brochure so that you will all have the same info I have.

Thanks for any insight you can provide.



I'm guessing that it is just a mislabeled proof coin, but maybe there is something I don't know.

thanks,
Chris

My magazine only lists that coin as a proof. The toning probably occurred after it was removed from the proof set packaging. Strange, if it is true.

 

Call the place and ask about it...and if they have a good return on it I would get it and see what it looks like in hand....I have seen some mint state coins that were graded PL in the last few years but not a PF graded MS..

It wouldn't have an "S" mintmark in that year unless it is a proof.

 

Or a typo on the brochure, possibly a 1991-D. The D and S are right next to each other on the keyboard. You would think that the dealer would know that the 91-S is a proof only, and as such would not have described it as almost looking like a proof. If he was typing up a 1991-D and accidently hit the S then the rest of the description would make sense.
