1952 One Cent PR RD Values
Details
The 1952 proof Lincoln cent is mostly found in the PR64-PR67 grade range, though enthusiasts should aim for spotless pieces with even color and excellent eye appeal. Registry set collectors and set collectors often set their sights on proofs with strong cameo frosting on the devices and lettering and will pay strong premiums for such examples.
