General Notes: The 1927 Lincoln cent is a common coin in all circulated grades and is widely available even in Gem Mint State grades, regardless of color designation. As many 1920s Lincoln cents are known for their weak strikes and tendency to show carbon spotting, be picky when buying specimens. A little patience always goes a long way in acquiring nice coins.
