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: The 1924 Philadelphia Lincoln cent is a common coin in circulated grades and, at least for Brown and Red-Brown examples, offers decent supplies up through the Gem uncirculated levels. The 1924 Lincoln cent is not without its numismatic challenges, and finding nice pieces with decent color, strong strike, and few or no carbon spots should rank as top objectives for any collector or dealer seeking examples.
