      Entry Details

      PCGS Number: 2532
      Coin Date: 1921
      Denomination (Short): 1c
      Denomination (Long): Cent
      Desg: MS
      Composition: 95% copper; 5% zinc & tin
      Mintage: 39,157,000
      Strike Type: Business
      Coinage Type: Lincoln, Wheat reverse (Bronze)
      Coinage Years: 1909-1958
      Mint Location: Philadelphia
      Diameter: 19
      Weight (Grams): 3.11
      Designer: Victor D. Brenner
      Edge: Plain
      Obverse Description: Bust of Abraham Lincoln framed by IN GOD WE TRUST on the top periphery. The word LIBERTY to the left of the portrait and the date and mintmark (If any) positioned on the right side.
      Reverse Description: Wheat ears flanking the words ONE CENT, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM on the top perimeter.
      General Notes: A mild recession in the early 1920s helped slow down coin production on the whole, something seen not just in the relatively lower mintages of US coins in 1921 but especially the case in 1922. While Philly-minted 1921 Lincoln cents aren't scarce in circulated condition, they're among the tougher Philadelphia cents from the 1920s across the board. This issue is scarce in uncirculated grades, with pieces grading MS66 and higher very difficult to obtain and almost always commanding stiff premiums.
