The 1966 Lincoln Cent is one of the tougher issues in MS66 condition and higher for the Memorial Lincoln Cent series. Examples in MS66 are hard to find, especially examples that are high end for the grade. In MS67 it is very scarce with very few known. Beware of examples that might be Special Mint Set coins, as these are much more common in high grades.
