While reviewing the initial results in various categories of recent auctions, my initial take is that the sales were moderate to strong.
The 1954 proof Lincoln cent is most often pursued by series enthusiasts, particularly those who are building a collection of proofs to complement their business strikes. While 1954 isn't a particularly scarce year for proofs, these pieces are extremely challenging above PR67 and are quite desirable with cameo frosting on the devices and inscriptions ' such pieces are rare and take strong premiums.
