Simpson Adds Finest Known 1943-S Bronze Cent, PCGS MS62BN, To Finest Off-Metal Collection
The PCGS Set RegistrySM number one all-time finest collection of Lincoln Cents Off-Metal Strikes, Circulation Strikes 1943 - 1944, just got even better with a million dollar upgrade.
Well-known collector Bob R. Simpson, co-chairman of the Texas Rangers
baseball club, has paid $1 million for the finest known 1943-S bronze
cent in a transaction arranged by Legend Numismatics
of Lincroft, New Jersey. It was successfully acquired by Legend after
"determined negotiations" with an East Coast dealer representing the
seller who is described only as "a long-time collector," according to
Legend President Laura Sperber.
The coin was certified PCGS Secure Plus™ MS62BN by Professional Coin Grading Service (www.PCGS.com) during the recent September 2012 Long Beach Coin, Stamp & Sports Collectibles Expo (www.LongBeachExpo.com)
and briefly exhibited in the Collectibles Display area there. Sperber
then personally delivered the coin to Simpson at his Fort Worth, Texas
office.
