General Notes: 1925 Lincoln cents are common in all circulated grades and in Mint States grades up through MS65, with MS66 pieces scarce in number and MS67 examples proving extremely rare. When buying 1925 Lincoln cents, take extra care in avoiding pieces with heavy carbon spots or uneven color, and keep an eye on the quality of the strike, which is iffy with many Lincoln cents struck during this era.
